Photos: 1 | 2 There were dozens of workshops, covering nearly every aspect of opposition to military recruitment. The conference was co-sponsored by the Campus Antiwar Network and Military Out of Our Schools-Bay Area. Aidan Delgado, an Iraq War veteran and conscientious objector; Pablo Paredes, a Navy resister who was just discharged after refusing deployment; parents who lost their children in the war on Iraq; and students, parents, educators, and community activists joined veterans and military families at this two-day event. The conference aimed to expose the lies that military recruiters tell young people, and to examine ways to get recruiters out of schools and alternatives to military service.
