Anti-War Protesters To Recruit Alongside The Military In Portland

Counter-recruiters will be given the same access to high school students that the military has in Portland.

Instead of standing out on the school sidewalk waving signs and offering fliers, as they have done regularly outside Portland high schools, anti-war activists will be able to staff recruiting tables and hand out pamphlets in the school career center or cafeteria, just like military recruiters in uniform.

“What we want is a balanced account of military service,” said school board member Matt Morton, one of at least four board members lined up behind the new rule. “What’s key is giving them all the information they need to make good decisions.”
