I'm currently reading a book by Gerald W. Bracey called Setting the Record Straight: Responses to Misconceptions About Public Education in the U.S. Wonderful book. I highly suggest that you read it if time allows. In the book, there is an entire section devoted to NCLB, and it inspired me to do some of my own research on the act.
I found something that's a little disturbing.
Sec. 9528 reads: "Each local educational agency receiving assistance under this Act shall provide, on a request made by military recruiters or an institution of higher education, access to secondary school students names, addresses, and telephone listings" (NCLB Act, Public Law 107-110, Sec. 9528).
What. The. Fuck. What business does this shit have in this act, a measure that supposedly came into existence to help students in their educational endeavors. This just proves that the United States is becoming/already is a military state.
What do you guys think about this?

This shit just doesn't surprise me anymore. If they didn't get the lists from schools they would get it from somewhere else.
They never bothered me. I even signed up and they never called me.
