Fine with me. As long as they lose all federal funding (including Student Loans).

I have to agree with WanderAimlessly. If they choose to ban the military from recruiting on campuses, then they should forfeit federal funding. They cannot have it both ways.
 
If any of the colleges or Universities that I support bans ROTC then I discontinue my support. If enough people are equally outraged, then the leftist professors will have to zip their lips. Simple.

We’ll see how long they can hold out then.

Thank you, Fitz.

I don’t think the Leftest Professors who hate the military have any idea that it’s the military that is standing between us and harm.

I know a woman who had “converted” to Catholicism at a very PROGRESSIVE Parish in the LA Archdiocese.

At one point one of the nuns at the parish walked away from her when it she found out her son was in the military…

Her son has trained police officers in Iraq and Afghanistan and defuses and disposes of bombs placed by people such as al Queda. One of them was a huge bomb placed in a large Shia mosque in Afghanistan. If the bomb had gone off as scheduled, 800 or more Shia Muslims would have died.

The Wahabbists would have set the bomb whether we had been there or not - The only difference is thatthe American GI (this lady’s son) was there to diffuse and disarm the bomb and save the lives of the Shias

The nun is still so angry that this lady’s son was there that she can’t recognize the fact that he saved the Shias’ lives.

In Christ, Michael
 
A progressive church, run by a nun? Too bad. The military is to be supported and ROTC is a wonderful program. My daughter went through ROTC and learned great leadership skills and is currently in her second deployment to the middle east. I would walk away from any religious person that put down the military. They do not have that right. By the way, my daughter was recruited in her Catholic High School by the military. Imagine that at a Jesuit H.S!

The nun doesn’t run the parish, but she runs a lot of the programs… It’s a Jesuit parish. During the prayers of the people, they pray for an immediate withdrawal of US troops from Iraq - They’ve been doing this for several months.

Based on this and the nun’s response to my acquiantance, I think the parish is either anti-military or anti-Bush.

I told her the nun was being rude and that the nun’s use of her “Catholicism” to justify what she did was reprehensible. I thought something had to be said.

Should military be banned on school campus?

It is a career choice. I don’t see why they shouldn’t be on the campus - as long as they are scrupulously honest about what a career in the military involves.

Equally though, I fail to see why schools should be forced to have them if they don’t want them. Are there other organisations that schools are forced to accept onto their grounds?

I would not be able to attend that church. It is being run like a politicl organization.

The way I understand it, schools are not forced to allow the military to recruit on campus. However, refusal of the military will result in the end of federal funding. The choice is the school’s.

Less bad that there aren´t liberal vocations to the religious life.
 
It does not take a military conflict to set some people off. I used to work as a police officer at the same public university where I did my undergraduate work. We had an English department that seemed to be populated by ex-hippies who had no concept of reality. They not only regularly talked trash about the military (absent any war) but also tried to get the university to ban the police from carrying sidearms. We thought that they must have imagined some invisible security bubble over the campus that prevented all crime and weapons from entering the area. They were never successful in getting the ROTC or police weapons banned, but I would bet that if I scanned recent editions of the student paper I could find some similar letters of outrage from the same folks.
