Military recruitment in schools

I'm watching a show on OPB and heard a comment about recruitment in schools. Apparently, according to provisions in the No Child Left Behind act, if a school doesn't turn over student's information to military recruiters, the school can lose all federal funding. That's so mind-bogglingly chilling I don't even know how to respond. What other employer is given that type of free rein access to young adults? Don't students have the right to determine who they want their information to go to?

I checked around about this a bit and found out it's all too true. Fortunately, there are some pretty strong voices out there trying to educate young people as to the reality of military life versus what recruiters tell them. Check out Objector.org and AWOL. AWOL is affiliated with Objector but it uses music and art to communicate its message. I heard Mario speaking on Air America a couple of days ago and he was super!
