Default U.S. law schools & the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy

by WSJ.com

U.S. law schools haven’t had the best luck challenging the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy — the one that bars gay people from serving in the military but also bars the military from asking about soldiers sexual orientations.

Several years ago, a handful of schools barred military recruiters from interviewing their students on campus. In response, the U.S. government said, okay, fine, we’ll take away the money we give you. The schools sued, the case went to the Supreme Court, and the government won. The schools reluctantly continued allowing military recruiters to interview their students on campus.*

Despite the setback, a handful of elite law schools are back at it, rattling chains on the unfairness of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” Click here for the story, from the National Law Journal.
