no child left behind

You may not know it, but under a little known provision of No Child Left Behind, public high schools must hand over personal information about students -- including minors -- to local military recruiters, or risk losing federal education funding.

I think it's a real invasion of family privacy and local school control. The good news is that I just found some great information and a useful online tool that makes it easy to "opt out" our children from these lists.
Just go to :

You can also help change the law that lets military recruiters prey on our minor children without parents' explicit permission. Hope you find it useful!

And tell other people you know about LeaveMyChildAlone.org
