I came and discovered this. I don't believe that it was posted before.

And then there are the schools that won't let recruiters even come on campus.... (i.e., Oakland, CA)

Military recruiters looking for a few good high school students will have an easier time finding them, thanks to a federal law that requires schools to turn over students' names, addresses and phone numbers.

Yeah that's a good way to get people into the military by using telemarketers.

Does the national do not call list apply to the feds?

...an affront to the principle of local control over schools.

Taking federal money is an affront to the principle of local controls. They should tell the feds to take their money and their rules and go away - it would probably save them more than it would cost.

I must admit I am not thrilled about this. I don't think it does much harm , but it sure gives the Democrats same amo for the next campaign cycle.

Sheesh. We're officially a nation of whiners now.

So, the military can contact high school kids. If the kid's not interested in the military, he can hang up the phone. If the parents don't even want Uncle Sam to ring them up, they can opt out. Yeah, it all sounds awfully oppressive.

Congress ordered the school-to-military cooperation as part of No Child Left Behind, the education overhaul that President Bush championed last year.

So, the military will be able to use high school records to determine how to find young American citizens eligible for the military, but President Bush is silent on using Mexican matricula consular ID cards to track down Illegal Aliens?

They ought to at least get it correct...

All I want to know is whether the schools povide student names to other vendors (ie) colleges, trade schools etc. If they do then this is a non-issue. I have no problem with recruiters visiting the schools. Why doesn,t DOD get the names from Selective Service?
