Abstract
"This Just In" piece on military recruitment policies in the Portland Public Schools. Bret Tonelli, a Deering High School graduate, is working with Maine Veterans for Peace to promote alternatives to military service to high school students. Superintendent Mary Jo O'Connor last month denied the group the same kind of access to public high schools that college recruiters and military recruiters have. O'Connor said Veterans for Peace could hold an assembly, but that they can't have "equal" access because they don't offer career options for students. With comments by Ben Meiklejohn, a member of the Portland School Committee.
