In September, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates gave a speech imploring universities to end their bans and let the military back on campus. Senator Scott Brown, Republican of Massachusetts was more pointedly critical, asking how Harvard can support the Dream Act, which would open a path to legal status for undocumented students, yet close the door on “young people who want to serve their country.”
Some argue that there ought to be a law holding colleges accountable if they refuse to support the military.
It turns out there is such a law…
The answer is that in all my research on the subject, I have found no universities that ban R.O.T.C., nor has the military initiated action against any institution for banning the program. We have grown accustomed to saying there are bans only because it fits with the assumption that certain colleges are unfriendly to the military.
So this is all a charade then?

First rule of politics: Never let facts get in the way of a good story.
Remember when ACORN was “busted” by a couple posing as a pimp/prostitute wanting help to establish a brothel? Bobbie Jendal, Gov. of LA, got on his high horse and claimed he would assure that no money would go to Acorn. The lie was that LA never funded Acorn. The state never paid Acorn. So how could they take away what was never given in the first place?
