Earlier this week, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (Philadelphia) rendered a 2-to-1 decision that would allow educational institutions to bar recruiters from their campuses in protest of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays in the military.
The court case came about because of a recent law change requiring suspension of government contracts with universities that impose such restrictions. Several university law schools, including New York University, George Washington University, Stanford, and Georgetown, brought the suit to block implementation of the law.
The government has not yet decided whether to appeal the ruling.
The bottom line is that the nation is at war, and our military manpower is stretched extremely thin. Regardless of one's opinions concerning the "don't
ask, don't tell" policy, there have to be better ways to express those opinions than directly impeding recruitment of the manpower needed to defend our country.
What is your opinion on this timley issue while the USA is in the middle of an armed coflict?
