Does that mother understand what she's doing to her son's sense of self? Odds are this boy is in for a full lifetime of sexual dysfunction, and that's just for starters!

Somehow I don't think little Remington Powell would join the Boy Scouts anyways. Unless the scouts have created a "getting your a** kicked" merit badge.

How 'bout we just assume that government schools and agencies are anti-God? Since they want nothing to do with Him, perhaps His people should not be associated with groups that hate Him.

Ah, those liberal Left Coast judges! What a hoot! The dirty bastages (judges) ought to be used for knot tying skills by the Boy Scouts!

"only the students who meet a religious test may accept the invitation to join." Uh, boys, that is. Gee, wonder why a girl hasn't come forward with a lawsuit. Oh yeah, because they're normal human beings and not insecure a**holes who need to legislate their own beliefs.

The courts/judges are getting ridiculous! It's no wonder we have increased lawlessness. There is less respect for the courts/laws each day by average and otherwise law abiding citizens because of rulings like this.
To: kingattax
The controversy began in 1996, when Nancy Powell, an atheist, objected to Boy Scout recruiting visits to an elementary school attended by her son, Remington, who is now in high school. Some people have waaaaaaay too much time on their hands.
...And I'm sure Remington just *loves* all the attention he's been getting!

The new ruling sends the case back to the state school superintendent for conciliation efforts to resolve the disputeCan you explain what this means?

These and other, similar rulings assume the Constitution stands itself on its own ear.
What I mean by that is that the court, by enforcing the establishment clause, simultaneously allows the free exercise clause to be violated. It justifies this schizophrenia based on the fact that so-called public schools receive large amounts of federal money (but perhaps the amount isn't the issue.)
Therefore, because the 1st Amendment forbids Congress from passing any laws that violate EITHER the establishment clause or the free exercise clause, then the laws that fund the public schools out of the federal treasury are the Congress-passed laws that violate the Constitution.
Those laws are what need to be declared null and void, not the acts of the Boy Scouts and little girls who take their Bibles to school.

Nancy: Well, it started when my oldest child began school. He was a first-grader, six years old, and he brought home a flyer from the school that said, "Come join Boy Scouts, it's good fun!" And being an active atheist, I knew from the get-go that the Boy Scouts would not allow my child to join.
I went to the principal and I said, "I find these materials offensive, and I don't want my son to receive them any more." He agreed they wouldn't, and within a matter of about two weeks, I came to pick my son up from school one day, and he's wearing a non-removable wrist bracelet (like you might get at an amusement park; you can remove it by cutting it, but it's not removable by a 6-year-old), and he's just bouncing up and down and he says, "I'm going to be a Boy Scout," and "I'm going to get to earn badges," and "The (school officials) said it was a good thing," and "Mommy! Can I join? Can I join?"
So now, here I am explaining to my son, who is now sobbing and tears are running down his face, that no, Son, you cannot join, and it doesn't matter what the school official said because the Boy Scouts will not accept our kind. And that's a really terrible thing to have to explain; it was a life lesson I had hoped he would be much older before he would learn.

As a middle-aged male, I was recently offended by being asked by a 10 yr old girl if I wanted to buy some overpriced cookies with the proceeds going to an organization which I am not welcome to be a member of.
I bought 1 Peanut Butter and 1 thin mint.
And hid them.

The court said while all students have been required to listen to an introductory presentation, "They "require" the students to listen to a pitch? I'd vote that down too and I love scouts.

The real reason we see rulings like this and other extraordinary rulings is simple. And my argument will never become a reality. We have usurped the inherent good and evils of mankind with man made laws since the beginning of time and that will never change. Now human beings are ever closer to instinctively--with the help of their evolving arrogance into playing God, into accepting as truth that that is false, seeing good as evil, mistaking survival as genocide and replacing God with logic. The liberals aren't afraid of nor do they believe in God. Forget for a moment the nuanced interpretation of EVERYTHING else in our existence as human beings. If the soul of man doesn't fear retribution from a higher power than fear is replace by enthusiasms of being God. Until that changes or until God is literally standing over every single human waiting to exact punishment there is nothing that can be done. Plain and simple. Where am I wrong? Other than my poor writing abilities and maybe sounding like a simpleton who needs some sleep.
