Topanga Peace Alliance High School Military
Opt-Out Drive -- In August and September, members
of the Topanga Peace Alliance (TPA) will be
distributing military opt-out forms to seven high
schools in the area. Under the "No Child Left
Behind" federal legislation schools are required
to share 11th and 12th grade students' personal
information with the military for recruitment
purposes UNLESS parents and students sign an
opt-out form. While leafleting and talking with
students last year, we found that many of them
were unaware that the military would have access
to their personal information or that they could
opt-out. While these forms help keep their
information away from the military, there is
another way the government is working on
recruiting children. TPA has become aware of a
military database called JAMRS. The acronym
stands for the "Joint Advertising Market Research
Studies" and is funded by the Department of
Defense. It maintains data on 30 million
Americans between the ages of 16 and 25 that
includes information such as your name, date of
birth, gender, mailing address, email address,
race and ethnicity, telephone number, name of
high school, graduation date, grade point average
(GPA), college intent, military interest, field
of study, and the ASVAB Test score. Opt-out forms
for this highly intrusive data base are not
currently supplied to students, and are not
available in southern California schools. TPA is
coordinating an effort with LAUSD to add JAMRS
opt-out forms to the student packets that go home
at the beginning of the school year. If anyone is
interested in helping with our efforts please
call Julie Levine at 310.455.9389 .
