No Child Left Behind requires schools to give military recruiters the names. addresses. and telephone numbers of students. unless their parents "optout" of the list. Schools are only required to provide one notice of the military recruiting list. so it can be easily overlooked by parents. or perhaps never received. Moreover. language and cultural barriers can prevent understanding of the optout process. especially in immigrant communities that are subject to aggressive military recruiting. If parents do not respond. and do not explicitly object to having their childs personal information released to recruiters. it is assumed that they have no objections. Under current law. they must "optout" in order to protect their rights.
