The assault on decent people continues. What sick bastards the leftist are.

I only give money to the Boy Scouts. I guess liberals think the tolerant union run public school system will help the poor city kids enough.

The current rent in One Dollar per year!
I am not sure the Scouts need to be 200k a year but One Dollar is ridiculous. The Scouts do not need to be receiving Welfare from the city. Raise the rent.

I may not agree, but as a private organization, the Boy Scouts should be able to admit whomever they wish.
OTOH, as a private organization, what makes them entitled to free government office space?

One more reason to not like Philly. They have choke football team, led by a choke QB, and they don’t like the Boy Scouts. Hey Philly, choke on it.

They do it to wear us down; so we will be like little piles of dough they can turn into slaves.

That isn’t the point. The $1 a year rent was meant to honor this organization and what it stands for. That is, when things were decent and moral.

How do they handle other nonprofit groups? Are they being discriminatory toward Scouts? Philly citizens need to get hot over this.
a barrage of opinion pieces, emails, and other means of letting the left know what we think are in order.

The Boy Scouts of America's refusal to bend its rules to permit gay scouts...Someone, please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it the Boy Scouts policy to not allow "gay" scout leaders vs. gay scout members?

My guess is that now the “city of brotherly love” means “If I can’t molest your sons, then you need to get out!”

The government would like the boy scouts to end up like the Catholic church.
