in my experience, having a large group of people standing a few feet from the recruiters' desk singing "we all live in a military state" (to the tune of "yellow submarine") makes them make up their minds pretty quickly not to come back.
you want to organize people to publicly humiliate and/or draw attention away from the recruiters during the times they're active, and to do it consistantly enough that they get frustrated and give up recruiting at your school.
consider bodybag props, lunch-break die-ins, pretend gunfights complete with civilian casualties right next to them. if you do something fun, you can draw other students in. maybe have people walk up to their tables in death mask make-up or rambo costumes or (if you want to press the don't ask don't tell angle) festooned in rainbows and acting obnoxiously queer. be loud and distracting. if they ask you to quiet down, remind them it's your school and get even louder. make them uncomfortable.
alternately, ask them questions they would probably be willing to answer, like about american casualties in iraq. if they won't answer you, ask again. make sure people overhear you. being informed can help a lot. bring sources to cite. bring your friends.
getting teachers to help you out is a great help. because of their job, it might not be possible for them to be particularly active, but there are plenty of less active ways sympathetic teachers can lend support.
probably the recruiters are putting up flyers too. tear them down and replace them with your own messages and parodies. make sure they know they're not welcome in your school.
and i can't overemphasize the value of planning. a single action may leave them undeterred - they'll assume they can wait you out, and go back to recruiting when things blow over. organize events for several months. let them know you can outlast them. hopefully they'll get the message and move on. |
