Court: Military Recruiters On Campus Ok

The Supreme Court in a unanamous decision has ruled that colleges & universities cannot bar military recruiters from campuses. Some educational institutions had banned recruiters because of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays, claiming it was discriminatory. The court said that any institutions that banned recruiters were in violation of Federal law & were at risk of losing Federal funding. College funding by the government totals over $35 billion a year.

We applaud the court's decision. Colleges & universities are quick to ban the U.S. military from its campuses - witness the brouhaha of years past over ROTC on campuses. Considering that many educational institutions are flowing over the brim with liberal & outright radical professors, it should come as no surprise. They would sooner have a radical subversive as a speaker than a Marine officer. Yale University recently enrolled a former Taliban spokesman as a student, incredible as it may seem - & was glad to have him.

However, when it comes to taking taxpayer-funded dollars, colleges & universities seem to sell out their principles. Maybe they aren't so radical afterall. When it comes to the all-mighty dollar they tend to become Capitalists instead, though their Marxist professors still rant in their classrooms against Capitalism.
