                   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.
