Harvard Allows Military Recruiters In

The Harvard Law School recently announced a reversal of it's policy of barring military recruiters in order to keep the hundreds of millions of dollars flowing to the university for research grants.

The old policy had barred miliatrayr recruiters form campus because they beleive the offical "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" on homosexuality is discriminatory.

However, their principles (let's call them preferences) only go so far. After the Department fo Defense notified Harvard they would lose all funding from the federal government if they kept their policy, the law school caved and reversed.

How perverse is their aggregate conscience if they ban their students from hearing about public service in the military on their campus?

The law school also announced it is filing a brief to the Supreme Court in favor of overturning the law that allows the DoD to withhold all federal funds. Especially since we'll have another justice of principle (although we lost a great one, I am referring to the appointment of John Ashcroft to replace O'Connor), I don't think the court would stretch the First Amendment to require the government to fund institutions which flip the bird to a department with a much more basic constitutional function. Add that to bullshit liberal double-standards.
