The Supreme Court dismantled the protests of liberal law professors in an 8-0 ruling against a challenge to the Solomon Amendment. The law schools want to be able to exclude military recruiters from campus as a way of protesting the "don't ask, don't tell" policy. The amendment denied federal funding to universities that refuse to give military recruiters equal access to their campuses. The professors claimed that the law violated their First Amendment rights to freedom of speech and association. The Court ruled that this was a ridiculous claim. The plaintiff" in the case was the Forum for Academic and Institutional Rights, or FAIR. Of course, if universities could be counted on to act fairly, the Solomon Amendment would never have been necessary. The spoiled princes of academia cannot bear even the least offense against liberalism within their ivory towers. It is more important to them that they be allowed to take their puerile stands in behalf of homosexuality than that the military be allowed to recruit the men and women it needs to defend our country. Fortunately for the military (and for the rest of us), what they find even more important is money.
