Boy Scouts of America Legal cases
Vicki A. Dennis
Food for thought regarding both the nature of Boy Scouts and
whether there is any public funding.
Some excerpts:
| Federal laws have been passed to allow the military to provide transportation for Scouts and to loan them equipment without charge. Every national Boy Scout jamboree since 1981 has been held on a military base. |
Many local
councils receive substantial funding from the United Way. Such United Ways have
a national and local policy of not ordinarily funding any charitable
organization which discriminates on a basis of a religious test or a sexual
orientation test. Many United Ways have stopped funding the Boy Scouts.
However, many still continue such funding.
San Diego CA: The American Civil
Liberties Union and the Tom Homann Law Association have asked the
city of San Diego to end its financial subsidies to the Boy Scouts until the BSA
ends its discrimination based on sexual orientation and religion. The legal
groups are also asking that the city council end its $1.00 lease to the Boy
Scouts council for their headquarters office in Balboa Park. An end to the
rent-free use of city-owned property on Fiesta Island is also sought.

Well, consider the source. The ACLU is also fighting tooth and nail for
NAMBLA!
