School Board Meeting was last Thursday night.
There are now some rules IN WRITING, that will not allow recruiters to contact the 7th an 8th graders.
Well.
That only took me a year to get that simple moral task done.
Geez.
The board did NOT limit all recruiters to two visits per year.  
Sometimes military recruiters are scheduled every other week at this rural school.
That means that 9th graders, 14 year old children, can still visit with Armed Forces trained salespeople twice a month. 
My job is not done.

Picture
First two stanzas are my 
mantra for now.

"Tis a lonely campaign you are on. I am really amazed that no other parent in that district has joined you.

Well, I think that most folks have to go to work - and I have a wonderful boss who lets me get to work when I want.
I have met many parents who are with me in their hearts and minds.
