The Portland school board is set to adopt a rule to give “counter-recruiters” skeptical about the value of joining the military the same access to high school students that military recruiters enjoy under federal law.
Instead of standing out on the school sidewalk waving signs and offering fliers, anti-war activists will be able to staff recruiting tables and hand out pamphlets in the school career center or cafeteria, just like military recruiters in uniform.
It’s about time.
