The Radical Left paraded their children down to Times Square on Martin Luther King Day to protest against military recruiters. The 8th graders lined up and read moving essays about “false promises” of military recruiters and how the “threat of a draft” had been weighing down on them.
Although many of the students are three or four years away from military age, they say the escalating war in Iraq and the possibility of a draft are of great concern.
