There is a new Federal law that allows the military to collect information about Jr. and Sr. High School students.
Yes, the Solomon Amendment is a federal law that requires educational institutions to provide military recruiters access to certain student information, including names, addresses, and telephone numbers of students aged 17 and older. This law supersedes some privacy protections under FERPA, allowing military recruiters to obtain this information unless a student or their parent opts out.

Below, a parent said the school enrollment forms for this year included content citing the 'new law' (without naming it) which she said was confusing because she thinks parents will decline to fill it out, thinking they are opting out by doing so. But those who don't complete this form will still have their information given to the military recruiters. The school documents don't cite the specific law or whether it is state, local or Federal but it does say the information is to be given to recruiters. So her assumption is 'recruiters' = 'conscription' or 'draft'?
The woman in the video (linked below) assumes this comes from Trump's admin and therefore she's sure this means it was given to public school students and not private school students (privilege). She speculates anxiously that this is a pre draft form in preparation for 'this new war we're going to be having'.
I suspect the school may have wanted to frighten parents with the assumption is for a draft and therefore made no effort to name or explain anything about it.
Do these people not have any contact with the outside world? President Trump is shutting down war and they're afraid he's preparing to draft public school students into the 'new war' and leaving private school students out of the draft????
