December 6th Nationwide Protests to Say College, Not Combat 12/03/2005 PROTEST IN SAN FRANCISCO AGAINST SOLOMON AMENDMENT AND MILITARY RECRUITMENT On Tuesday, December 6th, the US Supreme Court will begin to decide the constitutionality of the Solomon Amendment, which denies federal funding for schools that don't allow military recruitment on campus in the case of FAIR v Rumsfeld. Students and activists in the Campus Antiwar Network, and many other people nationwide, will hold rallies and marches in solidarity with the counter-recruitment activists in the Supreme Court case.

In San Francisco, a rally will be held at Justin Herman Plaza (near the Ferry Building at Market St & Embarcadero) at 4:00 PM. Speakers will include Aimee Allison of Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors and the Prop I Committee, College Not Combat, the Campus Antiwar Network, and others. Local artists and drummers will play music. The crowd will then march to the Davis Street Recruitment Station at 670 Davis Street to voice its outrage. Creative acts of solidarity are encouraged and welcome. Berkeley Stop the War Coalition will meet at 3:00 at Berkeley BART on Shattuck, and taking BART to SF to confront military recruiters. http://www.indybay.org/archives/archive_by_id.php?id=3816&category_id=12

Since the Constitutionality for Federal Funding for schools is tenuous at best, I have no problem denying schools federal funding for any reason.
