No Child Left Behind Act Continues to Shock and Awe
It’s nice to know that Bush and Company are still able to make use out
of that under-funded No Child Left Behind Act. Thanks to the following
sneaky Pete clause, schools are legally required to fork over secondary
school level students personal information to U.S. military recruiters
without parents consent.
Sowwy there’s no money for books folks, but we’re gonna need you to go
ahead and send us over those names and addresses ASAP. Hey, don't blame
us -- it's the law. Thanks. -U.S. Army
