Teach Peace in DC High Schools CHOICES, the Committee for High School Options and Information on Careers, Education and Self Improvement, a project of the Washington Peace Center, is seeking military veterans and peace activists to attend spring Career Day events in DC high schools to counter the presence of military recruiters there. CHOICES will present students with accurate information on enlistment and civilian options for employment and college funding. Help get out information about the new “No Child Left Behind” law requiring schools to give student addresses and phone numbers to military recruiters. CHOICES is also working with the DC office of the American Friends Service Committee on a new campaign to de-fund JROTC in DC schools. For schedules and information, contact John Judge at 202/234-2000.
