I thought this odd. A group called Young American's Foundation complaining that college students basically chased military recruiters off the campus. Need more young'uns for the war? A military career is usually worth the schooling and security it offers, but under this administration? I wonder if the Young American's Foundation has the proper name, I mean, is it named like the "Patriot Act", the "Justice Department", or my favorite, the "American Civil Liberties Union. Making sure of so many "rights" that you're left with none.
"The conservative group Young America's Foundation is trying to get the government to take away $80 million in federal funding for the University of California at Santa Cruz because the school allowed students and faculty to harass military recruiters and essentially forced them off campus.
The YAF is suing Defense Secretary Robert Gates seeking to compel him to enforce what's called the Solomon Amendment, which requires colleges to allow military recruiters access to their campuses to be eligible for federal aid.
Cybercast News reports the recruiters were subjected to protests, shouts and physical harassment during job fairs in 2005 and 2006 and elected not to go in 2007. The school denies any wrongdoing."
