Budget cutting opportunity: Columbia University

If you missed it a disable vet was recently heckled by fellow columbian students, when he spoke up at a public forum in favor of ROTC at Columbia.  Students booed, hissed and called him a racist.  The disabled vet is in a wheel chair after having been shot 11 times while serving in Norther Iraq in 2008.  The school administrations response was simply we have trans gender people who are part of the Columbia community.  Instead the administration should have stood up for civil intellectual discourse.  Universities like Columbia receive millions of dollars from the federal government, ranked 10th in overall receipt of federal government funds.  Yet they still refuse to allow ROTC or military recruiting on their campus.  It is time we stopped funding Universities like this.  A drop in the bucket overall, but over 300 million at Columbia, no telling how much at Harvard and Stanford.  Education is supposed to be about learning different perspectives, but pro-American, pro-military perspectives are absent from these Universities. Recommended Action:  Write your congressman about cutting federal funding to Universities that oppose ROTC or Military recruiting on their campuses.
