And you call this a "balanced" presentation?

This probably wasn't, but could have been, an example of the "balanced" materials that the military recruiters that I wrote about yesterday are handing out in the Tennessee school:

If you are wondering about exactly how (un)balanced this is, then read on...

The image you see here might lead you to believe that the child in the picture has been made "glad" and secure thanks to the U.S. troop presence in Iraq...  The original photo, taken by a journalist, depicted a young girl who had just received bullet wounds during a firefight in which her mother was killed and her father was wounded. Eddy doctored the photo by erasing the little girl's own face (which carries the listless expression you would expect from an injured child) and replacing it with someone else's face to make her look positively radiant and adoring.

I don't even know where to start writing in order to express my disgust.  So, I'll just virtually wonder out loud if the Tennessee principal would find these materials offensive?  Even if he did (which I doubt), he would not be able to ban the military from his school as he did with the Quakers.  Because, the law of our land mandates that the military be there, or at least that they have contact information for all students -- so that they can, of course, give a "balanced" presentation about military career options.
