Are you the parent of a high school child...
you may not know this but a provision in the
Leave (All) Children Behind boondoggle made all
government funded, i.e. public schools submit
the names, addresses and phone numbers of students.

Recruiters are calling these students, male and
female but you as parents can OPT OUT...see
here:

It's important that you organize locally and
let all PTA and teacher orgs know about this.

1. opt in/out

AS a former teacher, I'm shocked. I thought this information was considered confidential requiring an "opt in" policy. Thanks for the heads-up.

3. Some of us have been screaming about this for over a year

but people still think they have to opt in and just ignore it. Folks, the recruiters are after your kids and YOU HAVE TO OPT OUT to prevent it.

Recruiters know those in their teens generally have some tough days with the 'parental units' and they prey on this naturally occuring state. They go courting the kids and the first some parents hear abot it is on the kids' 18th birthday, when they announce they have already signed on the line.

Amazing, isn't it? The right is all hot for parents' rights in matters involving young ladies seeking health care options but thinks it's good to cut parents outta the loop when the man comes to sign up the kiddies.
Gee, like parents shouldn't be actively involved in decisions which may mean life or death in war? :wtf:?

Get the word out. Make sure all the parents you know understand what is going on. Let them know their kids contact info is REQUIRED to be released unless they proactively address the issue and sign the forms to OPT OUT.
