ACLU San Diego: END PUBLIC SUBSIDY OF BOY SCOUTS

I agree. if they are discrimination on religious / sexual basis then the public shouldn't support them.

If they were not discriminating, that would be different.

What are you arguing?


Perhaps Gene did not want the Federation to have a money standard, but in the series, they DID.

oh yah loved this example you posted. You said "ACLU defends cross in public" as an example of the ACLU defending religion.

the KKK are christian, whether you like it or not, and it was still a christian symbol. and you ignored the others?


btw, it wasn't simply a question of whether the boy scouts were religious, it was that they were given it virtually rent free, as opposed to other groups who payed full price.

from all the other shit they do.

your statement that they fight against even mentioning religion in public is false.

It's always convenient to ignore the fact that the ACLU represents pretty much anyone they feel has a civil liberties case

I think it's somewhat refreshing to see an organization not bound by "political correctness" when it comes to what they're willing to defend, ie: the NAMBLA case, as long as they feel there are civil rights being violated.
