Catchy Headline

As I was searching for articles about Iraq I ran across an article headline that really caught my eye. The article was titled "No Child Left Alive," and went in to discussion about how the U.S military is allowed to recruit on all public school campuses. The author of the article expressed his concern with the fact that the military is allowed to lure young impressionable teens in to war, on school campus. However, what he was more disturbed by was that the military was allowed to do so under the "The No Child Left Behind Act." The act states, "Each local educational agency receiving assistance under this Act shall provide military recruiters the same access to secondary school students as is provided generally to post secondary educational institutions or to prospective employers of those students." The author found it ironic that this bill, which enables students to get a better education and receive great opportunities, also encourages them to join the war. His passion toward the issue allowed him to produce an extremely creative headline. I was definitely lured in by the headline and enjoyed reading the article.
