Take Action

The law is on your side! There are things students, parents and community groups can do about military recruiting in their public schools:

• Send a letter to a school official.

  This sample letter explains that students are allowed by law to opt out from military recruiting, and why school districts must honor the forms.

• Make sure students get ALL the information.

  This resolution would regulate military recruiters' access to high schools and ensure that students know their rights.

• Make sure students aren't being targeted by recruiters.

  Ask your school district to regulate the ASVAB test, protecting students from being coerced into taking a voluntary test.

• Ask your school district to adopt an opt-out policy.

  This proposed resolution would require school districts to accept student opt-out forms.
