Protect Kids from the Pentagon

Did you know that buried deep within the No Child Left Behind Act is a provision that requires public high schools to hand over students' private contact information to military recruiters. If a school does not comply, it risks losing vital federal education funds. As if that weren't bad enough, the Pentagon has now built an illegal database of 30 million 16 to 25-year-olds as another recruitment tool.

You can join The Leave My Child Alone Coalition to protect children from unwanted military recruiting by getting their names off both Pentagon and high school recruiting lists.

Visit LeaveMyChildAlone.org for more information and all the forms needed to opt out.
