Anti-War Activists Kicked Out of Career Fair

Sounds shocking? Well, it turns out the career fair was on a military base. (ht: Jeff Quinton)

The State:

Several activists were told to leave a middle school career fair at Fort Jackson on Tuesday because they were handing out brochures promoting peaceful alternatives to the military.

The group from Carolina Peace Resource Center was asked to leave because it had misrepresented its intentions, said Karen York, a spokeswoman for Richland District One, the group that sponsored the event. Military police escorted them from the event.
