I find the policies covered in No Child Left Behind Act that address the issue of turning over children's names to the government for recruiting more than a little disconcerting as well.

He who pays the piper calls the tune. Its all based on federal money--don't accept the money & don't provide the lists. Private schools can do that now.

"don't accept the money & don't provide the lists."

Agreed. These are public schools being run on taxpayer money. I much prefer the military on campus than Planned Parenthood and the military has a bigger right to be there, IMHO.
