california was the first to ban recruiters, and then they pass an entire class of students who failed english. Then they complain about losing federal funding. can anyone shed light on WHY they would ban recruiters?

so much for keeping this civil, I meant there is a loss of funds "if" schools refuse to allow recrutiers into thier schools. I want to know why did they ban them in the first place. outside of "oh the war is wrong" bull.

California's STATE University system has NOT banned recruiters... though they are currently trying to. Not surprising given that UC Berkeley students have picketed, assaulted, and committed other crimes against recruiters and NROTC students consistantly in the past 20 years.
California is a rather LIBERAL state... particularly in the school systems... from kindergarden to college! When I was stationed in San Diego, our command had an arrangement where we would send people to a local elementary to serve as teachers assistants. FIVE of the teachers complained, saying that our being their in uniform was INFLUENCING the students, 4th and 5th graders!! Of course, 88% of the students had military parents, but that is the attitude of many of California "educators"
The Feds can withhold funding to the Universities in accordance with a 1994 law called the Solomon Amendment, which allows the government to withhold federal funding from colleges and universities that block military recruiters. The amendment is named for its chief sponsor, Rep. Gerald Solomon, R-N.Y. It was co-sponsored by Rep. Richard W. Pombo, R-Tracy.
I agree with the law, and am disgusted with those who support such foolish bans

I used to live in Santa Barbara. Beautiful place but as with most of California, Santa Barbara is very Liberal. The extreme left panders to the special interest crowd thinking that their extreme views are main stream America. Nothing could be further from the truth. So these cities adopt the extreme views to be Politically Correct and so politicians get votes. It also serves the special interest crowd because they have bought the politicians. So when the PC crowd starts crying about recruiters on high school and college campi, these paid for politicians just ban recruiting. So the Feds pull all the money from the cities that have banned recruiters. Having recruiters on campus is part of the deal to get federal dollars. Now these same bone heads are whining about not having any money and kids aren't getting the education they should. Thus your English class failures. You just have to follow the money trail. It goes from the special interest wallets right to the politicians pockets. Same old story and it's really getting old.

I'm currently attend Ventura College in Ventura, CA, and believe me it's a very liberal county for having three military bases in the county. I think colleges and high schools should let military recruiters back on the campus, the military provides such wonderful job opportunites after high school and after college. Because in my opinion the schools are public property and students should beware about different career opportunites. Maybe it's just me because I come from a military family, but the recuriters should have the rights to be on campuses. Believe me I had to find out about Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps by myself and I'm happy I did.

I do believe they banned the recruiters on campus because a SMALL percentage of recruiters were taking advantage of potential female recruits, sexual advantage. and of misleading others in order to boost their recruitment quotas.

Because recruiters make alot of empty promises to kids at a vulnerable time in their lives.

What possible connection is there between allowing military recruiters in schools and school performance????
How can you even begin to tie them together?
That is just silly.....

I fail to see your point. We pushed through legislation banning recruiters from our schools because a majority of us didn't have kids to become fodder for the wars of a maniacal government.
what the hell does that have to do with fed dollars, and who is complaining about it?
Our school district has more money than it knows what to do with, and we couldn't be happier
