This column should be shared with all who want vouchers.

Those federal funds are our tax dollars, redistributed with any and all strings the government wants to attach.

Government money=the means of government control.

''Dean Clark was pretty much stuck between a rock and a hard place,'' said Matthew S. DelNero, an outgoing cochairman of HLS Lambda. ''We think the Bush administration has taken a very heavy-handed approach to enforcing policy.''

I wonder if they felt this way about the administration in place when the military school in NC(the name escapes me at this time) was forced to take women into its all male ranks.

But he also wrote, ''A society that discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation - or that tolerates discrimination by its members - is not a just society.''

There are too many things that can be said about this one line. It really shows where the "elite" at Harvard are in their great intelectual journey to stupidty.

The three great marks of today's liberalism are a total lack of common sense, a disdain for morality, and a superiority complex that every normal person can see through in two seconds.

I wonder if Clarke would agree with this corollary: ''A society that discriminates on the basis of political orientation - or that tolerates discrimination by its members - is not a just society.''

But you did not properly translate into Newspeak:

''A society that discriminates on the basis of political orientation "objectivity" - or that tolerates discrimination by its members - is not a the only just society.''

You see, there are objective people, and there are rightwingers. I know you knew that, you just forgot.

As I'm sure this dishonest reporter knows full well, most of the Ivy League schools (including Harvard, and my school, Brown) booted the ROTC programs off of their campus in the 60's...long before the gay issue was on anyone's radar screen. The REAL reason why the ROTC programs were kicked off campus--and remain off campus--is that the lefties who control the Ivy League schools detest the US military. The gay issue is a straw man that was only introduced several decades after the ban in order to cover for Harvard's distaste for the military and the uncouth people whom they assume make up most of its ranks.

Excellent.

I'm gonna OD on the schadenfruede.

Ain't it great to see liberals, who for years have used government $$$ as a stick to create the behavior they like, be on the recieving end for once?

"As a Junior at the university, he was elected a member of the Phi Beta Kappa society."

That ought to read, Phi Beta Pakka. Amazing how the odious Quislings squirm like maggots in sunlight when their secret deals with the Beast are threatened.

>>Those are our planes now<<

We must be like the left to beat the left.

Never forgive. Never forget.

Taking our money while they teach anti-Americanism... I wish they hadn't folded and had tried to go on without government money

[WaterDragon]

Same for my daughter, buffyt. When she was at the university she was amazed at how many were there on the taxpayers' dime, and how little they appreciated it and how little they worked to make anything of that gift.

[RobFromGa]

most of us reluctantly accept the reality that this University cannot afford the loss of federal funds....

Translation: We are APPEASERS. This whole "fags in the forces" issue is not important enough to us to risk our liberal, fat-cat lifestyles.

I think that the US Congress should be denied the opportunity to pass any new laws until they first enforce the laws we have already on the books.
