This march and rally is not about restricting straight students' job prospects - it's about ensuring that EVERY student on campus has the ability to join EVERY employer at the job fair.

The concept that the military's speech is being squashed is a joke. The military uses over 5 billion dollars annually in its attempt to recruit youth. They buy ads on all the popular TV and radio stations, they buy billboards in communities across the country, they steal students' contact information from every high school, community college, and sometimes universities, they have a database of over 30 million youth ages 16-25, and you want to say that their 'free speech' is being threatened by students at ONE little university?

What a bunch of shit. If someone wants to join the military, they can march themselves over to Capitola and sign up right there. No one is standing in their way.

What about UCSC's FREEDOM to uphold its nondiscrimination policies? Thank god for the Forum for Academic and Institutional Rights (FAIR) - that's challenging the Solomon Amendment in the Supreme Court this winter.
