A campaign to get 1 million kids opted out from the little known provision of No Child Left Behind is underway. You probably know that public high schools must hand over personal information about students -- including minors -- to local military recruiters. Parents can get their kids off this list by submitting a request in writing to their school district superintendent. The website is http://www.leavemychildalone.org

I was wondering if you could help by passing this information on. The groups who initiated this action are looking for people willing to hold house parties in their area for a letter writing campaign on June 1st so feel free to forward this to them or start one in your neighborhood.

And please, even if you don't have kids in high school, you can help by supporting legislation by Mike Honda, the Student Privacy Protection Act. Just go the the website, http://www.leavemychildalone.org

Thanks!
