ACLU attempted to prevent the Boy Scouts from discriminating against

Except the Boy Scouts is a private organization.


That wasn't decided UNTIL the courts ruled when the ACLU brought the
lawsuit;


It was already known that the BSA is a private organization.


Nope; the Dale case hinged on whether the BSA was a "public
accommodation" or not.

Perhaps it wasn't legally determined until the case, but the BSA
being a private organization falls into the duh category.


Not when government agencies sponsor BSA units; the government
can't run youth groups that exclude atheists.
