We Want You(Th) Report: Confronting Unregulated Military Recruitment in NYC Public Schools
Read this report that was developed by the Manhattan Borough Presidents Office, and the Students or Soldiers? Coalition (NYCoRE, NYCLU, Ya-Ya Network and UFPJ-NY).
The report, We Want You(th)!, concludes that DOE is failing to adequately safeguard students’ rights to privacy, and to properly manage military recruitment activities.
Additionally, the report finds that DOE can and must do more to address the concerns of students, families and educators, including taking immediate steps to implement a citywide policy governing military recruitment in the New York City public school system.
