ACTION ALERT: Deceptive "Career
Exploration Program" provides military recruiters with leads on 600,000 high school students yearly. Act Now to Protect
Privacy of High School Students in Your Community! Join activists across the country
by demanding that local school officials protect the privacy of high school students who take the Armed Services Vocational
Aptitude Battery, (ASVAB). Last year more than 600,000 school children took the ASVAB and all of the results, including personal
information, were forwarded to military recruiters. The military refuses to publicly admit the ASVAB is a valuable recruiting
tool. Instead, the ASVAB is marketed through schools as a "career exploration program" frequently without mentioning
its affiliation with the military.
A little known option (option 8) exists that allows school officials to preclude test
data from winding up in the hands of military recruiters. We've provided the following template for you to use to create
a letter to send to your local school officials. It works!
