“Youth Against War and Racism” wants to help guarantee future war and entrench further racism, by nagging <\/a>– again – the Saint Paul School Board to restrict military recruiters on Saint Paul school campuses:<\/p>\n

Youth Against War and Racism (YAWR), the Twin Cities metro area student group, asks for your support in urging the St. Paul and Minneapolis School Boards to restrict military recruiters’ access to high schools.<\/p>\n

Under the No Child Left Behind Act, schools allow recruiters access to schools, but YAWR asks that recruiters be restricted to Career Centers where school counselors can supervise the recruiters’ contact with students. They do not want recruiters in school cafeterias, at sporting and other extra-curricular events or elsewhere around schools and students.<\/p>\n

The military has had large presences at School Board meetings in the Public Commentary times, and has been allowed to freely advocate for their position with school boards.<\/p>\n

Please come support the students who actually attend the schools and live in the community, in advocating for their position. Also: Please phone or e-mail the School Board in your district with your concerns.<\/span><\/font><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A little bird tells me Superintendent Carstarphen would like this whole issue to just go away – that she’s sick to death of board time being taken up by these yowling little patricians-in-training and the college-age-and-older lifestyle leftists who are basically using them as a mouthpiece (to be fair, I’m jamming that last bit into her mouth – but to her credit, she would<\/em>, I’m told, rather actually deal with education than this particular vanity issue).
\nLast time this came up, Swiftee and I went to the meeting and spoke.\u00a0 If you care about the St. Paul Schools, it’d be great to have some more people there next time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
