                   YALE: U.S. MILITARY NEED NOT APPLY

  (Mr. POE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. POE. Madam Speaker, the Forum for Academic and Institutional 
Rights, a group of mostly elitist east coast universities and law 
schools, moaned and groaned all the way to the Supreme Court, claiming 
they should not be forced to allow United States military recruiters on 
their campuses in order to keep their Federal funding. Monday the 
Supreme Court unanimously ruled against their ridiculous rant.
  In a time when our Americans in uniform are fighting a global war on 
terror, these arrogant elitist intellectuals are making a mockery of 
national defense by not allowing recruiters in their historic halls. 
These schools willingly take billions in Federal dollars, but reject 
the military that protects them.
  At Yale University, officials are actually willing to accept a 
foreign student that served as spokesman and former diplomat for the 
Taliban. It is a shameful and sad day when Americans willing to risk 
their lives for their country are kept off their campus, but an alleged 
former terrorist operative is welcomed with open arms. At least the 
Supreme Court got it right this time. Unfortunately, Yale University 
did not.
  That's just the way it is.
