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

[Jenifer Cartwright]

Excellent news! I'm assuming it's a Unit 4 policy... but too bad that it's automatic that the recruiters have access UNLESS parents opt out, whereas it should be the other way, i e that recruiters do NOT have the access UNLESS parents check the box (plus fill out complicated 25-page forms, have them co-signed by 10 relatives and notarized). I wonder what Urbana's procedure is.

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 ?

I think the UofI student group CAN, the Campus Anti-War Network <can.uiuc at gmail.com>, has taken some counter-recruitment actions in the past; I haven't heard whether they're contemplating anything this year.   AWARE used to, but we haven't actually done anything in years. This is bad news -- recruitment should be an Achilles heel for the military, and should be a good thing for a peace group to work on.
