IVY League Gets Millions while shunning Americas Best.

Using "don't ask don't tell" as false justification, many Ivy league colleges have banned ROTC programs, while still collecting taxpayer dollars. A violation of the Solomon Act.

The amount of our money these "elite"s schools collect, despite having billion dollar endowments, is obscene.

"Enforcement of the Solomon Act means a lot of money is on the line for universities. For example, in the fiscal year 2010, Harvard received $621 million in federal funding; Yale received $510.4 million; and Stanford received approximately $880 million. Brown University and the University of Chicago also risk losing federal funding by banning the ROTC."

ROTC issue aside - why are these colleges getting a dime of tax payer money to operate, while indoctrinating students of America?

Cut the funding all together -- return all Federal Education dollars to the states, and let us keep more of our money for our own children's education. Mine is going earn his help from the taxpayer by serving as an enlisted man, or through ROTC.
