UPI NewsTrack TopNews Bill would permit military academy prayers By Amy Fagan THE WASHINGTON TIMES Republicans on Capitol Hill are stepping into a battle over whether military schools should be allowed to include prayer as part of meals and other school-sponsored activities. House conservatives are pushing a bill designed to ensure that military academies can have policies to include voluntary, nondenominational prayers during authorized activities, such as meals. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Walter B. Jones, North Carolina Republican, aims to combat the efforts of the American Civil Liberties Union, which successfully sued the Virginia Military Institute because of its prayer-before-meal tradition, and has since notified the U.S. Naval Academy in a letter that its similar prayer policy must be changed. "I find it incredibly ironic that liberal organizations like the ACLU are attempting to take away the very freedoms that these students are willing to go to war to protect," Mr. Jones said when he introduced his bill last month. Last week, Rep. Joe Pitts, Pennsylvania Republican, and Sen. Sam Brownback, Kansas Republican, pushed the proposal during their weekly issues briefing for conservative organizations.

Seems that they have been doing it right for so long it has become routine," Smrekar says. The yearlong study by the Peabody Center for Education Policy at Vanderbilt looked at 1998 test results of the National Assessment of Educational Progress, a congressionally mandated exam popularly called the Nation's Report Card, and the SAT college entrance exam. Key findings: In eighth-grade writing, 38% of DOD domestic students and 31% of those overseas scored at grade level or higher. This was second only to Connecticut and above the national average of 24%. NAEP ranks students at one of four levels: below basic, basic or partial mastery of materials, proficient or grade level and advanced. DOD had more students scoring in the advanced bracket than any other state or jurisdiction. The majority of U.S. students perform at basic levels or below. DOD schools have a much higher percentage of black and Hispanic students, and both groups posted higher scores in reading and writing than the national averages for their peers.

But for players at the military academies, that might be more difficult to do. For them, the threat of going to war is a very real possibility.

I guess that sets us apart from a lot of other schools." Indeed, it does.

25. Teen Peace - New Law Helps Military Recruiters At High Schools November 29, 2002 washington military recruiters looking for a few good high school students them thanks to a new federal law that requires schools to turn http://www.olympus.net/personal/gofamily/co/recruiting.html

New law helps military recruiters at high schools By Ron Hutcheson KNIGHT RIDDER NEWS SERVICE November 29, 2002 WASHINGTON - Military recruiters looking for a few good high school students will have an easier time finding them thanks to a new federal law that requires schools to turn over students' names, addresses and phone numbers. Congress ordered the school-to-military cooperation as part of the No Child Left Behind Act, the education overhaul that President Bush championed last year. The law, which went into effect in July, also forces high school administrators to let military recruiters onto their campuses. The terms apply to any school, public or private, that gets federal money under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Exempted are private schools with religious objections to military service, such as those run by Quakers. The requirements are welcome at the Pentagon, but some school administrators feel otherwise. Schools that refuse to obey risk losing federal education money. Parents can instruct school officials to withhold their children's names, home addresses and phone numbers.

Civil Rights Under Attack By the Military Sylvia Law Elizabeth K. Dollard Professor of Law, Medicine, and Psychiatry Co-Director, Arthur Garfield Hays Civil Liberties Memorial Program, N.Y.U. I know that many of you met with Professor Harlon Dalton of Yale a few weeks ago on Martin Luther King Day and heard him talk about fatigue in the community of people concerned about racial equality. I am sorry that I was not here. I share Harlon's passion about the evil of persistent racial discrimination and his sense of depression about the ways in which the community concerned about Dr. King's vision has become tired. The level of fatigue in relation to my subject - discrimination against gay people in the military - is even greater. Like Harlon I began my professional and political life animated by outrage against racial discrimination. As I matured my concern extended to outrage against discrimination against the poor, women, people with disabilities and gay people. My political and intellectual specialty may be in exploring how all of these forms of discrimination are similar and distinctive. Basically I believe the slogan: Gay/straight, black/white, same struggle/same fight. But all of these related struggles for equal treatment are grounded in and inspired by the struggle for racial equality. One important current area for struggle on gay rights issues is resisting the Department of Defense's effort to force schools and universities to abandon non- discrimination policies and accommodate military recruiters.

28. ACLU Of Washington:  Other Issues This is not new for washington schools. By state law, military recruiters have had the same access to the campus and to student information as other potential http://www.aclu-wa.org/ISSUES/otherissues/militaryrecruitmentschools.html

February 21, 2003 Military Recruitment and Schools Some Washington parents are up in arms that public schools are releasing their children’s personal information to military recruiters without adequate parental consent. Given the country’s politically charged environment since 9/11, students and parents object to feeling pressured to respond to unsolicited recruiting letters from the United States military. Some parents opposed to a war in Iraq find the possibility of military recruiters having access to their children’s personal information especially troubling. Recent immigrants who are particularly vulnerable in the current political environment are confused and frightened. In January 2002, Congress passed the “No Child Left Behind Act,” a law addressing academic standards, teacher quality, and school safety. It requires school districts receiving federal funds to provide student names, addresses, and phone numbers on request to various branches of the United States military for recruiting purposes. Schools must also allow military recruiters the same access to students as they do institutions of higher education and employers.

"In our system, state-operated schools may not be enclaves of totalitarianism. School officials do not possess absolute authority over their students. Students in school as well as out of school are 'persons' under our Constitution." Justice Abe Fortas, Tinker v. DesMoines, (1969) Violations of the constitutional rights of students are far too common in public schools across the country. Articles about controversial subjects written for student newspapers are censored. Lockers and back packs are searched without reasonable suspicion. Female students are excluded from certain extracurricular activities, and gay students are intimidated into silence. Teachers and administrators have a responsibility to provide a safe environment for the students that is conducive to learning. They also have a responsibility to respect each student's individual rights. These two missions are not incompatible. Young people have rights too! Preservation of basic freedoms depends on each succeeding generation learning to understand and value our nation's heritage of liberty. The ACLU works to ensure that young people are educated about the Bill of Rights and that their rights to freedom of speech and fair treatment by government are respected. We support constructive alternatives to efforts that target youth as a group in need of severe measures that restrict civil liberties.

Bureau of Administration Office of Overseas Schools Teaching Overseas Teaching Overseas The international schools affiliated with the Department of State are independent, non-government schools sponsored by Americans or in which American citizens have considerable interest. Since they are not controlled by the U.S. government nor do they operate under any official administrative jurisdictional umbrella, they hire teachers and staff directly, establishing their own qualification standards and application procedures. Salary levels and benefit packages vary from school to school Many of the American-sponsored schools overseas contract with private organizations in the United States to assist them in the recruitment process. The schools also frequently send representatives to stateside teacher recruiting fairs to locate qualified staff for anticipated vacancies. Included on this web site are addresses of some of the organizations that assist in recruiting staff for overseas teaching as well as addresses of organizations with teacher exchange programs. In addition to communicating with these organizations, you may want to check the schools' web site as many now list recruiting information and their vacancies.

The Web CNN.com Home Page World U.S. Weather ... Special Reports SERVICES Video E-Mail Services CNNtoGO SEARCH Web CNN.com School officials slam Bush plan for military kids Story Tools WASHINGTON (AP) School officials nationwide are criticizing a proposal in President Bush's budget to stop compensating them for teaching children of military personnel who are not living on bases. School administrators say the plan is particularly galling because Bush also is asking some parents of these kids to get ready to go to war with Iraq. "We've got bases that are deploying troops and if these children go unfunded, as opposed to no child left behind, we'll be leaving all military children behind," Robert Edmonson, controller of the Copperas Cove, Texas, school district, said Thursday. The federal government helps fund public school districts that educate children who live on military bases, making up for lost local taxes. Bush's proposed budget, submitted this week, envisions eliminating children of military personnel who live off base from the funding formula used to calculate the in-lieu-of-taxes payments. Edmonson said his district, where many Fort Hood children attend school, would lose $9.5 million, about 20 percent of its operating budget.

39. Washington Week: Student Voices washington Week Home, military recruitment creates thorny issues By Andrew Beckwith Cornell Daily Across the country, faculty and students at schools such as http://www.pbs.org/weta/washingtonweek/voices/200310/1031issues.html

Military recruitment creates thorny issues By Andrew Beckwith Cornell Daily Sun (Cornell U.) DISCRIMINATORY POLICY? Many people know about the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Don't Pursue, Don't Harass" policy regarding lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered individuals in the military. Some find this to be at odds with most universities' nondiscrimination policies. However, the military is permitted to recruit on campuses, primarily for positions in its numerous Judge Advocate General's offices. The Solomon Amendment, a piece of legislation that was introduced by the military, states that law schools which ban recruiting by the military will lose their federal funding. The amendment has been reinterpreted in recent years to mean that if such recruiting is barred, the entire parent institution of the law school will lose its federal funding as well, making it virtually impossible for law schools to afford to prohibit military recruiting. Other lawsuits include one filed by the Forum for Academic and Institutional Rights representing at least five law schools and hundreds of law professors from around the nation. But at Cornell Law School, no such suit has been filed.

AGENDA 2000: MILITARY SCHOOLS November 12, 1999 As our regular viewers know, we've asked a variety of individuals and groups what issues they want to hear the candidates in the 2000 presidential election address. Green Ifill handles this discussion with the heads and former heads of several military schools. GWEN IFILL: And tonight we are we hear the views of four retired military officers who ran the graduate colleges that turn out most of this country's generals and admirals. Rear Admiral Michael McDevitt was commandant of the National War College from 1995 to 1997. Air Force Major General Perry Smith was commandant of the National War College from 1983 to 1986. Lieutenant General Paul Cerjan was president of National Defense University from 1992 to 1994, and commandant of the army war college from 1989 to 1991. And Lieutenant General Paul Van Riper served as president of Marine Corps University from 1989 to 1990. Let's start here. What are the most important issues, do you believe, Admiral McDevitt, that the presidential candidates should be talking about this year? REAR ADM. MICHAEL McDEVITT (RET.), Former Commandant, National War College: Well, I think what we are you're going to hear are the... the issues you'll hear about are going to be national missile defense. You're going to be hearing are readiness, and you're going to be hearing about recruiting. I'm not sure that those are the most important issues. I think the most important issue is in terms of our broader security strategy, which has to reconcile the notion of our... of major wars or the two major theater wars that we have, humanitarian interventions and peacekeeping and other issues associated with presence as well as homeland defense. Those three major pieces are, to me, the issues that need to be addressed by the candidates. And I'm not sure that each and every one of them are addressing all three of those.
