ROTC. What is it? It is the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps. ROTC is known for creating leaders, that is, if you fit the demographics. It is in our universities and is allowed to openly discriminate against LGBTQ persons and because of the national law if a university tries to get rid of this blatant discrimination they will lose federal funding. With the economy as it is, a university can’t afford to lose any more funding than they have already lost.
This is tied to scholarships and student life on campus. It is just another way that an LGBTQ person is being shown that they are “different” from the rest of society. The government puts the universities in a tight spot because they either stand up for LGBTQ persons or they keep their funding so they can keep educating students. Something about that choice just doesn’t seem to make sense. It doesn’t make sense, because it shouldn’t have to be a choice. Universities should be able to receive funding and show support of their students, regardless of their sexual orientation.
