RSYM Statement
End British army recruitment in schools

In response to the decision taken by The Educational Institute of Scotland to ban the recruitment by the British army in Scottish schools the Republican Socialist Youth Movement have called on trade unions here to adopt a similar policy.

Spokesperson Seán McGowan said “The lessons to be drawn from Scottish trade unions are immense, the EIS represents over 80% of Scottish teachers and although the debate at the conference was tense, there was an overwhelming majority of teachers opposed to recruitment.

Mr. McGowan continued “For years the British army has been failing to meet recruitment targets. It is on record that the schools they target when attempting to recruit people are in the most economically disadvantages areas. No mention is made of the slaughtering of countless of Iraqi civilians when young people are promised thousands of pounds and a chance to see the world.

“The British army and PSNI are openly recruiting and speaking at schools in west Belfast and other areas. This is done under the auspices of normalisation of British rule in Ireland. The British army give out free stickers, t-shirts and glossy booklets full of references to pop culture as a means to deceive people.”

In conclusion Mr. McGowan said “The British army have no place in either Ireland, Scotland, Iraq or any of the other places they occupy. It’s up to us to expose and challenge them at every opportunity.”
