Leave My Child Alone!

Leave My Child Alone! - A Family Privacy Project to Protect Students from Unwanted Military Recruiting. Buried deep within the No Child Left Behind Act is a provision that requires public high schools to hand over private student information to military recruiters.The purpose of this invasion of family privacy is to allow minor students to be recruited at home by telephone calls, mail and personal visits. If a school does not comply, it risks losing vital federal education funds.
The only way to keep your children’s contact information from military recruiters is to submit an "opt-out" letter in writing to your school district’s superintendent.
