Trailer for documentary made by two Lawrence High School students (Lawrence, KS), Alexia Welch and Sarah Ybarra, that seeks to bring attention to the little known provision of the No Child Left Behind Act that entitles the military and other third parties access to public school students' personal information or risk losing federal funding.

I started reading that book called "War is..." by Aronson and Campbell and it really does explain what I already knew about in real life. "There is strength in numbers." One can make a difference but more of us can support each other and overpower those who abuse power by taking the initiative and coming together!

I just began a book called 'War Is...' edited by Marc Aronson and Patty Campbell, which is where I read about this video. I really recommend this book- it'll really open your eyes. Did you know that the Enlistment/Reenlistment Document- Armed Forces of the United States say that once you sign the contract you are subjected to any rule change proposed by the Congress (, as was the case with Emiliano Santiago)? I mean seriously, it's like you belong to them.

there's a political punk band called anti-flag that speak out against this. they formed an organization called Military Free Zone, and there's a website of the same name which has a short documentary about this provision. you can also download an opt-out form that withholds your info from recruiters. this site has lots of info about your rights and military practices...check it out, you won't regret it.
