*By Susan Hartley Santa Monica*

The deadly problem with No Child Left Behind (“No Child Left Behind gets an F,” Sept. 20) is that schools receiving funds under the act are required to provide the military with personal data on all students, such as name, address, telephone number. This data is then used by the military to recruit (hound) those students to join the military. Most parents don’t know this. They also don’t know that they can opt out, signing and completing a form directing the school not to provide the military with their child’s contact information.

The opt out form is on the Coalition Against Militarism in our School (CAMS) Web site at www.mili-taryfreeschools.org for completion and delivery to the school. No Child Left Behind really means No Child Left Behind for our military arsenal; a ghastly and deadly bill. It needs to die. Our teachers and schools need to be providing our families with these opt out forms.
