The U.S. Military is invading our schools. The Pentagon is desperate to recruit new bodies to fight in an illegal, immoral and losing war in Iraq. Recruiters are targeting our children with lies and half truths about money for college, job training, and adventure. Federal laws give recruiters access to school buildings and students’ files, including home addresses and phone numbers.

But we can fight back. Around the country, students and parents have been standing up to military recruiters, reducing their presence and their influence. Hear the facts that recruiters won’t tell you and learn how we can organize to drive the military out of our schools.
