Colorado Springs is okay - believe me I live here - Fort Carson, Peterson AFB, NORAD and the Air Academy - pretty rock solid.
The big fuss in "The Federal Republic of Boulder" right now is one of their High Schools kicked a marine recruiter off campus the other day.
The story hit the radio stations and now the high school relented and is willing to "discuss arrangements" with the recruiter as a result of the publicity.
Under the "no child left behind" law, military recruiters must me allowed access the same as college recruiters.
That high school was violating the law and has since gotten smart real fast.
Instigated by the same teacher being discussed in this thread.
That is so sad.
I visited Boulder in the mid 1990's to visit the uncle of a boyfriend at the time, and thought it was a pretty town. His Uncle and his wife were practicing Buddhists and so everyone we met in the town were Buddhists. They kept trying to tell me that almost everyone in Boulder was. Very strange.
Ever since I met my Husband, I tease him about Boulder being full of Buddhists. He was an Air Force brat, but spent his Jr. High and High School years in Colorado Springs, so he considers it home. He also went to college at Ft. Lewis in Durango.
