Military Recruiting Threatened by Anti-War Activists
Anti-war activists, the Pentagon officials told a U.S. House committee recently, were increasingly approaching school boards and attempting to prevent military recruiters' access to schools.
What these anti-war activists are forgetting is that their beloved Not Child Left Behind Act contains a provision that says school administrators must give access to military recruiters. That's one law that is coming back to bite them in the behind. Serves them right.
Recruiters cite the No Child Left Behind Act, President Bush's sweeping new education law passed earlier this year. There, buried deep within the law's 670 pages, is a provision requiring public secondary schools to provide military recruiters not only with access to facilities, but also with contact information for every student -- or face a cutoff of all federal aid.
