Boy Scouts Win Eviction Suit Against Philadelphia
Philadelphia Legal Intelligencer
Posted on 06/23/2010 4:56:26 PM PDT by Williams
"A federal jury on Wednesday declared that the city of Philadelphia had violated the First Amendment rights of the local chapter of the Boy Scouts of America by moving to evict it from its city-owned headquarters if it refused to repudiate the anti-gay policies of the scouts' national parent group.
In its verdict, the jury of six women and two men found that the city had imposed an "unconstitutional condition" on the scouts and declared that it was not "reasonable" to do so."

The above is from the Legal Intelligencer I excerpted out of caution. Boy Scouts will be able to petition for their legal fees, estimated at $860,000.

Until Monday, 6/21/2010, I worked for a local BSA Council. They are all hurting.
I was laid off because simply there is no money left to pay staff with. I worked with personal information on all volunteers. They cannot farm my job out I needed to be bonded.
The remaining staff all took a 6% pay cut as well. I have been crying for two days.
The BSA is taking a huge toll on their belief system that protects the youth members.

Look at the money the City of Philadelphia wasted trying to persecute a group as noble as the Boy Scouts! The BSA could have put that money to such better use.
Mind you, the Philadelphia Boy Scout group agreed not to discriminate against gays and the City tried to evict them just because they wouldn’t also repudiate the national organization.

Rather than mourn the Court’s decision, Liberals every where should be celebrating the protection of diversity represented by this decision.
