It’s fun to imagine the howling that would have greeted this idea if it had been proposed by a public university. (Would it survive a First Amendment test, legal eagles?) But the school, the College of the Ozarks, is private. It’s a Christian college that offers free tuition in exchange for students agreeing to work while they attend. A course like “Patriotic Education and Fitness” that gives them a very basic taste of basic training thus is less unusual for this campus than it would be for others. People there are used to learning practical skills as part of their college experience.

Must be a delay in the Jeffries Tubes as the howling is being parsed into Newspeak.

But the author does raise a salient point in his final link in the article:

"If the bad kids are doing abbreviated basic training, (https://hotair.com/archives/2017/10/20/antifa-fight-club-teaching-far-left-punch-shoot/) the good kids had better do it too."
