High school students have an advantage when it comes to
organizing to demilitarize their schools and counter military
recruiters. The Constitution guarantees them an inherent right
to speak out on controversial topics at their schools as long as
they don't violate legitimate time, place and manner rules. And
when it comes to convincing district trustees or
superintendents, students can speak with authority about what
they are experiencing in their schools. For more information on
students' rights, check out the organizing guides and toolkits.
Start a club to do CR work. Talk to your friends or folks you
think might be interested in participating. Have a meeting with
a few people to start the process. Assign tasks like: - Find out
about the rules regarding clubs/organizations at your school -
Begin the process of starting a club (paperwork if necessary,
etc.) - Make a flyer about the group - Make copies of the flyer
- Pass out flyers - Hang flyers up at the school, around town at
libraries, events, stores, etc
