The organization, "Coalitions for Inclusive Scouting," which states that it is "dedicated to fostering discussion and education about the current state of the scouting program in the United States," clearly invites dialogue from the public. FReepers, please take a moment, on behalf of these boys, to discuss with and educate this (...a-hem...) group, to this sad news out of central FL.

***from their website:

Our Mission

NECIS is a grassroots organization based in New Hampshire that is dedicated to fostering discussion and education about the current state of the scouting program in the United States. It was formed in response to the discriminatory practices of the Boy Scouts of America with respect to religion and sexual orientation, and comprises individuals and organizations who want to find ways to both support the scouting program, and to make the benefits that scouting has to offer equally available to all youth.

...How should we respond when an outstanding organization does something terribly wrong? Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court gave the Boy Scouts of America the right to ban gays from their organization (BSA v. Dale). Just because an action is legal, however, does not mean that it is morally right. We believe that the leadership of the BSA is doing a double disservice to our youth when they deny wonderful opportunities to some while teaching harmful lessons of divisiveness and discrimination to the millions that remain in the program.

Do you know something we don't? Please drop us a line: info@inclusivescouting.net

Ping to slap dangerous people around post. Thought perhaps you'd like (or anyone else you know) to take a shot at these leftists.
