Liberals for The Solomon Act

Should liberals be supporting the Solomon Act? Pulling federal funding from law schools that ban military recruiters on campus doesn't feel like a liberal position at first glance. But T.A. Frank of TNR Online is hoping to change how the issue is framed:

"The Solomon Amendment controversy, in sum, awakens two competing liberal imperatives: promoting equality for gays and lesbians; and encouraging all members of society--and not just a segregated warrior class--to sacrifice for our national security. One of these efforts is going quite well; the other is going quite poorly."

"Princeton class of 1956, over 400 students of about 750 served in the military. By 2004, that number was down to 8 students out of about 1,100. These numbers are for undergraduates, of course, not law school students. But the fact is that the entire culture of elite education--undergraduate, graduate, and professional--has grown hostile towards the idea of military service over the past 50 years."
