] Disturbing article about a provision of the No Child Left

Some choice pieces of this article:

] 'The military complained this year that up to 15 percent
] of the nation's high schools are "problem schools" for
] recruiters. In 1999, the Pentagon says, recruiters were
] denied access to 19,228 schools. Rep. David Vitter, a
] Republican from Louisiana who sponsored the new
] recruitment requirement, says such schools "demonstrated
] an anti-military attitude that I thought was offensive."
] ...
] Recruiters are up-front about their plans to use school
] lists to aggressively pursue students through mailings,
] phone calls, and personal visits -- even if parents
] object. "The only thing that will get us to stop
] contacting the family is if they call their congressman,"
] says Major Johannes Paraan, head U.S. Army recruiter for
] Vermont and northeastern New York. "Or maybe if the kid
] died, we'll take them off our list." '

BTW, it is now Anti-American (implied) to be a pacifist. You are with us or against us. Three little words:

Hitler Youth Corp

Witness the slow regression of your country.
