What part of "the students are the ones who will be the ones that suffer" do you not understand, Rudey? Granted, it'd be one thing if it were for safety concerns but this is for Spain's pullout of soldiers from Iraq, etc. not because of any safety issues in Spain. To me, the whole point in going to another country is to learn about the political and cultural differences there are in that certain country. Once again, it's the STUDENTS who will suffer academically and culturally, not the school. I don't think there will be a major fund withdrawal because this community college is sending students to a country that doesn't support a certain war. They're not now so that's neither here nor there. Heck, don't send students to a certain American state that is predominately liberal or conservative because that college doesn't support a certain political stance.

To me this is all a part of groupthink that Americans seem to buying into lately. Of course, it could've been happening long before I started paying attention to what Americans thought. Granted, I am only 24.
