California Federation of Teachers Resolution 27
Adopted Sunday, March 18, 2007


Protect Student Privacy Rights
Submitted by Local 1021, United Teachers Los Angeles


Whereas section 9528 of the No Child Left Behind Act mandates schools 
to provide military recruiters with the name, address, and phone 
numbers of secondary students and mandates that military recruiters 
have open access to public schools at all times, and
Whereas, student privacy rights are ignored and their rights are 
disenfranchised by Section 9528, and
Whereas, military recruitment does not belong in any federal statute 
on public education, and
Whereas, military recruiters are deceitful to students and use high 
pressure sales tactics on students, and
Whereas, the war and the war budget have diverted huge amounts of 
resources from funding for continued education by children of working families,
Therefore, be it resolved that the California Federation of Teachers 
seeks to eliminate Section 9528 from any reauthorization of the No 
Child Left Behind Act and publicize the destruction of student 
privacy incurred by Section 9528, and
Be it further resolved that the California Federation of Teachers 
inform the California congressional delegation of it's opposition to 
Section 9528 of the No Child Left Behind Act, and
Be it finally resolved that the California Federation of Teachers 
inform the American Federation of Teachers and local councils of this 
resolution.
