[Peace-discuss] Counter-recruitment? [laurie.nobilette@gmail.com:Catholic Workers]

[unionyes]

Also,

The local ISO did an excellent job of counter recruitment against the CIA on 
campus.

When we registered my daughter for High School ( Champaign Central H.S. ) in 
August as a Freshman, there was a box to check indicating if you as a parent 
allowed or refused to allow your child to be contacted by military 
recruiters.

I was pleasantly suprised by this ( of course placing a large bold check in 
the DO NOT ALLOW box.

Is anyone familiar with this in any of the other local or state High Schools 
?
