We support the resolution being considered by the Minneapolis School Board to restrict military recruiters\' access to schools and provide equal access to peace groups and counter-recruitment activists. Among other things, the resolution states: \"Military recruiters be prohibited from interacting with students in hallways, lunch rooms, or common spaces other than high school College & Career Centers

I honestly never thought this would gain this much steam when I first typed it out on my laptop at the kitchen table. It feels so surreal seeing people actually get behind this idea because for a while there I felt like I was shouting into a void about the way recruiters operate in our hallways.

YES. They target vulnerable students and it is predatory behavior. Get them out of the common areas!!!

Finally. My son is sick of being bothered by recruiters in the lunchroom. Let them stay in the career center where they belong.

Keep them away from the hallways! Kids are just trying to eat lunch. This is so overdue.

Glad to see the board finally doing something about this. Let the peace groups have the same time to talk to the kids.
