Speaking of academics: Harvard Law School is lifting its ban on on-campus military recruiting, a ban that was imposed because of the Pentagon’s Don’t Ask-Don’t Tell policy towards gays. But the closer you look at the story, the more hypocritical Harvard Law School and the Bush Administration look. Turns out Harvard Law School already allowed military recruitment on campus through a technicality, permitting it to still receive federal funds. So much for its righteous ban. Then there’s the Bush administration putting the policy squeeze on a college, using the threat of withholding federal funds to get its way. Aren’t conservatives usually the ones warning about the feds insidiously using money as a bludgeon to impose policies? Postscript: Instapundit reported this story four days ago.
