SEATTLE – While most Parent Teacher Student Association meetings might center on finding funding for better math books or the best way to chaperon a school dance, a recent meeting here at Garfield High School grappled with something much larger - the war in Iraq.
The school is perhaps one of the first in the nation to debate and vote against military recruiting on high school campuses - a topic already simmering at the college level. In fact, the Supreme Court recently agreed to decide whether the federal government can withhold funds from colleges that bar military recruiters.
Wanna protect your kid from having to go kill their kids?

The fact that the military recruiters can go to colleges to collect the bodies they need to fight ill concieved and possibly illegal wars suggests the need for prayer in schools...
"Please dont let these fuckers get my kid!"
It's so tragically cynical for the military to go to teenagers with offers of money and free training! I could live with a representative addressing a class on career day, but anything beyond that is wrong.
