Thank you for voting!
Yes 82%

No 18%

Yes, if they have a sufficient number of applicants to do it successfully.
FReeped and bumped!
Yes, if they accept government funds for themselves or their students.
Schools that don’t, like Grove City College, shouldn’t be required to.
...this is now controversial? ROTC on Campus?
:(:(:(:(:(
FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)
yes
Highschools and colleges, yes.
Hmmm.... I can’t seem to vote. Won’t let me choose an answer, though the results show 83% yes, anyway.
Well, this is a very difficult question. To answer, we need to first consider the following:
Do campii currently allow classes on the wonders of buggery with weekend practical exercises?
Do they permit the open advocacy of paedophilia using taxpayer dollars to fund the effort?
Do they openly advocate the violent overthrow of the government and its replacement by a Marxist totalitarian government?
Do they welcome frauds and academically unqualified persons into the ranks of tenured faculty based solely on their political views?
If the answers to all of these questions be yes, then by no means should the vile, inhuman, and war mongering ROTC program be allowed to sully this teeming pond of academic freedom and search for excellence.
“Forcing a private institution to do anything should always be controversial. Freedom first.”
The government doesn’t force them to take government $. They take it by choice but it’s a quid pro quo.
FReep’d
The question is simply worded “Should all schools allow ROTC on their campuses?”
How does that indicate forcing anyone to do anything?
So, yeah, all schools should allow ROTC on their campuses. They should do it because it’s right.
Do I think all schools should be forced to have it? No. But if they don’t want the military around, they can forfeit any governmental protection in times of an emergency.
That is what they’re rejecting, after all. If they don’t want it, don’t give it to them. Let them manage by themselves in an emergency.
Been long day. Please correct me if my reasoning about ROTC is faulty.
Given that there are taxpaying students / parents who want ROTC program where students are attending school, it is not right for schools to deny such programs, in my opinion.
Seems somebody figured out we’re freeping this poll. Guess they figure we aren’t allowed to have an opinion.
