"Law Schools Denied Federal Funding After Barring Military Recruiters" in The Huffington Post

"Just before 'Defense Monitor' went off the air on PBS, they reported that the taxpayers of the US were paying about $1 billion a year to fund the JROTC program in 20,000, mostly poor, high schools in the United States. They asked if we were getting our money's worth. Last PBS transmission for them, it seemed! I did some research on this many years ago. When it started there were four, one at my H.S. Newfield, on Marshall Drive in Selden, NY (Selden a judge who testified as a character witness at Susan B. Anthony's trial for posing as a man to vote, a judicial no-no, Newfield the surname of an author who chronicled the 3000 families who left Long Island for Canada in the American Revolution). We had the Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) in 1969-1970 and the head of it drove a red MG a MGB or the C a six cylinder. The Army JROTC was in Connecticut, as it was, in Paul McCartney's managers town. (We had 'Brooklyn Bridge' in Selden perhaps). They kept their equipment (22 rifles and drill rifles behind a makeshift cage in the Civil Defense basement there, also stocked with green cylinders of graham crackers, sanitary napkins, etc., the cans to serve as "potties" during a "new clear" attack. The concrete shed dust I recall. The "cage" for the weapons, had its hinges on the outside, and anyone could have removed weapons and supplies. One of the assassins at Columbine H.S. in Colorado was denied a place in the armed services due to a medication he was given regularly, not on the approved list of medicines. My friend's cousin is married to one of its teachers. The other two, the Air Force and Navy were on the West or Left coast and according to my research, nobody voted for these, they were made available some how to the school board. At the time the US was in a never declared war in Southeast Asia, and quite frankly, I was wondering, amidst the ringing of the 'bomb scare' bells if we would be blown up, a college ROTC had suffered that fate. Well here it is, 20,000 schools later and $1 billion a YEAR, why are they messing with my private(s) law schools?"
