Local high schools sending the names and phone numbers of all juniors and seniors to United States military recruiters is more than a back-door assault on student privacy. This may have life-or-death consequences for unwitting kids who are contacted by these recruiters. This student information give-away was mandated in a little-known provision of the "No Child Left Behind" Act, President Bush's sweeping education law, which went into effect in the year 2002. This article discusses how NCLB is used to access high-school students for the military in war time and how parents and students can notify their high school that they want to opt out of having their names available to the military, before schools could hand over the information.
