DESCRIPTION:Saturday, February 21  COUNTERING THE MILITARY PRESENCE IN OUR SCHOOLS -- 
 San Jose  A training for students, parents, teachers, guidance counselors, 
 school board members and  concerned community members  9:45 a.m. to 3:30 pm 
  First Unitarian Church of San Jose  160 North 3rd Street  (between St. 
 James & St. John in Downtown San Jose)  wheelchair accessible  Did you know 
 that the military:  * has a $2.6 BILLION recruiting budget?  * spends 
 millions of dollars for surreal TV commercials?  * receives contact 
 information for every high school student through a little known provision 
 of  the  No Child Left Behind Act (aka No Child Left Unrecruited)?  * gets 
 most high schools to give the ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude 
 Battery) test to  their  students, which they, in turn, use as a recruiting 
 tool?  * gets local tax payers to foot the bill for JROTC programs on many 
 high school campuses (local  school districts nationwide spend more than 
 $222 million in local tax dollars on JROTC personnel  costs alone)?  And 
 they still have to lie to get young people to sign up!!!  We have 15 
 scholarships for any students that wish to attend (first come first served) 
  We're asking for a donation on a sliding scale of $10-50 to cover the 
 costs of the training and  provide some financial resources for our new 
 project. (If you can't afford it that's OK and if  you can afford more, 
 that's OK too!)  We have limited space, so be sure to reserve your place at 
 the training right away.  Register by phone (408) 292-3858 x. 29 or email 
 thinkfirst@sanjoseuu.org if you want to make  your donation at the door. If
