" As part of Bush's new plan to educate American youth, military
recruiters
now have access to all students high school records, including
addresses and
phone numbers. "
Yep, that's the law. School districts have the option of setting
things up as opt-in, but the default is opt-out. IOW, in most areas
you have to explicitly request that your child's school not give out
their personal information to the military recruiters.
We did that, of course, but it really doesn't matter much. My older
son averaged 2 calls or so a month from recruiters, even after
telling them explicitly to mark his record as requesting no further
contact. Guess since they're the military, they don't have to observe
the laws that everyone else has to.
