Punk band Anti-Flag is running a campaign from its Web site against an obscure provision in the No Child Left Behind Act which requires public school systems to provide private details of students (addresses, phone numbers and so on) to the U.S. military to help identify potential enlistees. Details here.
The site also links to the Underground Action Alliance site, which carries an interesting article from the Houston Chronicle about how Dubya signed a bill, while governor of Texas, called the Texas Futile Care Law, which allows the state to discontinue life support for someone, say like Terri Schiavo, IF the patient's family can't pay for treatment. So much for the right to life, eh?
