Meanwhile in Nashville Tennessee, a public high school has barred Veterans for Peace and a Quaker group from distributing information on the school campus that could be considered “anti-American” or “antimilitary.” Quaker and veteran Hector Black said the school’s principal cited as inappropriate a pamphlet that contained a quote from President Dwight Eisenhower. It read “Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed. Those who are cold and are not clothed … ” The peace activists have complained that military recruiters are not placed under the same restrictions that apply to anti-war groups.
