Mid-East Ethnic Cleansing ContinuesPeace group hopes to educate parents, students about recruiters
SD moonbats are alive and well in the so-called South Dakota Peace and Justice Center. At issue is the provision for schools to pass contact information to military recruiters.
The No Child Left Behind Act specifies that military recruiters must have the same access to contact information about students at the secondary-education level as those students' other prospective employers have.They are pushing an effort to isnsure that parents/students have the option to opt out on this contact information. WAIT! HOLD THE PRESS! If one reads to the end of Kranz's screed the information is provided that:
In the Sioux Falls School District, parents are made aware at the beginning of the year that they may keep their child's name out of a school directory, Superintendent Pam Homan says. "Parents annually grant permission to allow a student's independent use of the Internet, participate in school trips, to be photographed or filmed and be included in the school directory. It is a long-standing policy," she said. If a child's name is not included, then no one, including recruiters, can gain access to the student's name or information, she said.In other words, what the SDPJC is arguing for, and that Dave Kranz is giving coverage on, is a problem that was solved before it started - the "opt-out" has already been in place. Phew! The world is still safe for democracy.

They were met with burning barricades but no real opposition.Yep, Hamas will now be able to complete it's new Gaza fire-base without any pesky jews around to see.
There will be a bigger test this week when they move to clear out two settlements in the West Bank manned by 2,000 hard-line opponents of the pullout. Some are armed and there are fears that what has been a virtually bloodless operation could turn very violent.Will history repeat itself again: the Warsaw ghetto revolt, take 2?
The Chief thinks that Israeli PM Sharon has been royally suckered on this one - and that there will be no lasting positive result from the Palestinians. Get ready for the return of Netanyahu.
