Why does the military have direct access to the private information of American high school students? Under the No Child Left Behind legislation, Sec 9528, education funding in America has been turned into a recruiting tool for our military! Buried in this legislation is a section that mandates student’s private information be given directly to the military unless the student’s parent or guardian opts their records out — meaning that a request letter from the parent or guardian must be submitted to the school to keep the student’s records private.
