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?


Look into the tax breaks that professional sports teams get.

The benefits from the Boy Scouts more than make up what the city would collect in rent.

Of course, this dwarfs any benefits the Boy Scouts get. Not only do sports teams get tax breaks, they actually receive taxpayer money to build stadiums. I'm slowly becoming a sports fan, but the politics sicken me.

I don't get this. How so?
