Orchestrate a smear campaign that demonstrates schools release of students' names to recruiters as an invasion of privacy, targeted toward parents. Try to take the school board to court, or something. It looks like a Seattle school barred recruiters from the campus. Make a point of connecting the No Child Left Behind Act with strong-arming from the military. (And, you know, No Child Left Behind is already controversial.)

This is what I came up with five minutes of thinking about the thread and searching google. I'm sure someone with actual dedication could come up with something better.

So send the recruiters to McDonalds. Do you like the idea of evangelist Christians setting up conversion booths in high schools? Because this isn't really that different.

EDIT to clarify: I'll admit I'm normally against any sort of evangelism, but it's not actually the military recruiting that I have a problem with, here. It's the fact that they've put the recruiters on a high school campus. I probably wouldn't even mind if the school just sent the name and phone number of every senior to the recruiters, but that isn't nearly as effective as putting the recruiter right there in the hallway--which is why they want to be there, of course. But while they're giving their sales pitch to the 18-year-olds, 14 and 15-year-olds are hearing it. Even ignoring the idea that some recruiters lie, I don't like the idea of a recruiter convincing some kid that the military's the way for him to go when the law says he's too young to make that decision on his own.
