While I agree that this is somewhat alarming information and I would prefer to not have my child's information given to the government like that if I had a kid, I'm not really suprised.
The government and tons of other organizations out there have way more information than we would suspect or give them credit for. Even if we could stop the government from getting information about our kids from schools (which is doubtful. I'm sure there are other ways to find that information, should they need it...and ways to keep track of the information, even if they claim it has been deleted from their databases), it would hardly make a difference in the grand scheme of things.
Besides, even if the military recruiters have more information about your individual kid, knowing their contact information isn't going to make them force your kid into the army. The only thing that could force your kid to join would be a draft....and that would go into effect and send your kid away whether or not the military recruiters had your child's contact information.
