Peace Group Barred From Manatee And Sarasota County Schools

Public school districts in two Florida counties are refusing to allow members of a peace organisation to counter the presence of military recruiters by talking with high school students about options other than joining the service, according to a spokesperson for the group........here
Under Bush's "No Child Left Behind" law, signed in 2002, public high schools must give military recruiters access to students, including their names, addresses and telephone numbers.

there are already others on campuses there to talk about options for graduating seniors...they're called college recruiters and job recruiters. Unless this peace group can offer constructive advice to the students regarding non-military options, and not solely discourage service, then I see no reason why they should be there.
