Military testing in New Hampshire high schools

The U.S. Military gave a 3 hour test to 1,172 kids in New Hampshire high schools last year under the guise of a career exploration program and used the results for recruiting purposes without parental consent. You can stop it like we did in Maryland by simply sending an email we'll write for you to your state's superintendent of schools. Get in touch www.studentprivacy.org info@studentprivacy.org

The ASFABs (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) have been conducted in high schools around the state for a very long time. I remember being mightily pissed off about them when my kids were in high school, and refusing to allow them to take them.

I think they may have stopped the tests, as least as a schoolwide event, but I'm not sure.
