I don't like this. It is fine while the pubs are in. But when the dems get in you might find that colleges that accept federal funds must allow peace corp recruiters, must allow male "re education" promoters, UN promoters, professors who follow the democrat line.

You may find states who accept highway money being forced to build mass transit or else.

You're right that there could be downsides. We'll have to deal with potential other issues at the legislative level where they should be decided. This is a good decision.

Which of the above are they not already doing?

Isn't that one of the reasons conservatives support limited government?

Maybe this will illustrate to the Left why the Right opposes statism.

I know I'm naive, but maybe it will jolt them into supporting smaller federal government when they finally see that the sword can cut both ways now that its starting to cut them.

They impose similar things now. We have HOV lanes imposed on us now because the state takes federal funds. This huge monstrosity, barely used, while most of us sit in bumper to bumper traffic.

Those are not Federal agencies, and that is what this law speaks to.

Been there, done that... what do you think the anti-male Title IX is all about. A Federal money hook to enforce a feminist agenda on college sports.

Fact is, it's the Golden Rule: He who has the gold, makes the rules. I admire Hillsdale College for forgoing Federal Money and thereby being free of such inducements and constraints.

Academe is already dominated by unreconstructed Communists, the ossified remnants of the "free speech" movement that completely colonized, and subsequently destroyed, this country's campuses.

The only direction we can go in now is forward, which is why groups like Students For Academic Freedom, Campus-Watch, The FIRE, and sites like Critical Mass, noindoctrination.org, etc., are so critical to this nation's future.

The people that control liberal arts universities today espouse an ideology that is completely divorced from liberalism as it's been traditionally defined.

These people aren't liberals, they're fascists masquerading as free-thinkers.

"You may find states who accept highway money being forced to build mass transit or else."

You're close. Try "you may find states who have their gas federally taxed to 'build highways' find that their money goes instead to fund mass transit in other states, and that they get back less than they put in after the federal skim."

It sure would be nice if a single person here recognized that this is all about schools--public schools, in states, mind you--accepting FEDERAL money. Which has not thing one to do with Constitutional government, under which states could run their own schools as they damn well pleased and would get nothing from the feds at all.
