Yale University is one of America's most venerable and influential institutions. The last three president have been Yalies (four, if you include co-president Hillary) along with numerous Supreme Court justices, Cabinet secretaries, dignitaries, writers, opinion-shapers and business leaders. Yet this aristocratic institution was the rude site of a professorial commencement "protest" when President Bush spoke at its graduation three years ago, has recently played host to a virulently anti-Semitic "poet" and refuses to honor and support the brave men and women of our armed forces whose sacrifices make its intellectual riches and freedoms possible.
