Uncle Sam wants YOU!

Have you gotten one of those letters from your school yet? It's called a "Message from the Department and State Board of Education." In a nutshell, it says that under the provisions of the federal "No Child Left Behind" law, student directory information is "required" to be made available to "military recruiters" and "institutions of higher education." If a student or parent doesn't want that information spread around, they have to call and make a special request. Seems it would be simpler if they just asked people to call who want that information passed around. But then, who would be crazy enough to do that?
What a hoot, though. It gives new meaning to No Child Left Behind. You gotta figure that once we spread democracy beyond Iraq to places like Iran, Syria, Palestine and maybe even North Korea, there will be no child left behind in this country.
Lock and load kids, it's time to ship out!
