War Against the Scouts

"It's happening again, another badly misguided local United Way chapter banning any UWA funds from going to the Boy Scouts groups because they won't allow homosexuals to be scout masters - a constitutional right assured the Boy Scouts of America by no less than the United States Supreme Court.

"...(T)he Miami-Dade United Way (UW) chapter...says it will no longer give nearly a half-million dollars a year to the local chapter of the BSA after June, because the scouts won't provide some asinine be-nice-to-gays-they' re-normal-just-like-us 'sensitivity' training program for its leaders.

"...The local UW claims it made its decision because the Boy Scouts reneged on an alleged 2001 pledge to put into effect training programs to help Scout leaders to be 'sensitive' in dealing with kids who have trouble coping with sexuality, a pledge to which Herrmann flatly denies the scouts ever agreed.

'Sex education and sexual orientation are not part of our program and we're unwilling to make them part of our program,' he told AP.

"...Americans shouldn't put up with these threats to the welfare of young scouts. We can start by making direct contributions to the Boy Scouts along with other groups when our local UWAs cravenly surrender to homosexual pressures and cut funding for the scouts, and we should boycott the United Way chapter and urge others to do the same.  Companies should inform United Way they will not give if UW insists on getting involved in such social engineering practices. If your employer has a UW drive, don't be afraid to ask if they support the Boy Scouts. Ask before you give a cent." (Radio talk-show host Michael Reagan, FrontPageMag.com, 5/19/03)
