Obviously others disagree with this interpretation. I don't, however -
school districts should not be supporting an organization that
discriminates based on religion or sexual orientation.

assuming, of course, that said organization is actually discriminating.






"The Boys Scouts may have a legal right to discriminate against
atheists, agnostics, gays and others, but we remain convinced that
as long as they continue that discrimination they have no right to
receive special access to Portland elementary schools during the
school day to recruit 6 and 7 year-old boys to join in that
discrimination," [Oregon ACLU Executive Director David] Fidanque
said.

Strangely, I was a Boy Scout for perhaps a year - I didn't enjoy it.
Our troop was based in a church, though; I have no problem with that
arrangement. Ironically, I was agnostic.

If there was a case where the ACLU went right to the Scouts and said
that they could not discriminate at all even without getting
preferential treatment from schools, I apologize - they are out of line
then in that case.


you don't see a problem labelling the BSA as an organization that
discriminates?
