Know Your Rights
español -
We live in dangerous times when our government is pursuing permanent wars in the name of human rights and democracy building. Theses claims do not hold up to the facts. Federal policies such as the FERPA Act to protect our children's privacy are not being enforced in our schools and some States give the ASVAB test to students across the nation as a mandatory requirement when it is only currently a voluntary test according to the Federal Government. All of this is for data mining to then use for aggressive military recruitment of our youth, especially those from disadvantaged families. No one will protect our children but an informed public.
Consider being an activist parent, teacher, veteran, religious clergy, or student who wants a different kind of future for their lives and their community. The health and ethical toll of permanent war in America is costing us all a sustainable and truly secure future. You have rights but you must first know what they are and then to insist upon them with misinformed school officials and military recruiters.
