Counter-Recruitment and the Campaign to Demilitarize Public Schools

More about the book

The book explores the grassroots counter-recruitment movement that opposes the military's presence in public schools, highlighting the tactics used by activists to challenge military recruitment efforts targeting youth. It discusses how the military integrates into schools through programs like JROTC and the significant resources allocated for recruitment. Activists aim to inform students about non-military career options, advocate for policies protecting student privacy, and mentor youth in resistance efforts. This movement, though often overlooked, poses a significant challenge to military recruiters.
