Whitman Debates

At Whitman we have a student email listserv, and being nerds, we always get into debates via email. There is always a variety of topics, some serious, some funny, some boring. This week's, though, is actually pretty interesting. Whitman is taking measures to ban army recruiters from setting up info tables and handing out pamphlets, etc, on our campus. This is because we are very liberal and our, uh, statement thingy...can't remember what it's called...anyways it says that we pledge not to do anything/sponsor anything that discriminates based on sex, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc etc, and the army doesn't allow homosexuals. hmmm. interesting topic, i think. should we allow army recruiters on our campus when they won't let our gay students enlist if they want? i don't know...
