Military testing in Maine's high schools

The U.S. Military gave a 3 hour test to 3,562 kids in Maine 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

It also thought I would be terrible as a teacher or social worker, which was what I was interested in at that time. I was torn between being crushed and lmao!
