I didn't find it hysterical when it happened to me.
Our Cub Scout Pack had been sponsored by our local Park District for 25 years. Then we formed a Boy Scout Troop. A year later, the BSA found itself staring at a potential lawsuit from the ACLU because it doesn't allow atheists (kind of hard for an atheist to proclaim a Duty to God ...). The Park District then informed me that they were going to drop our sponsorship, 6 weeks before our charter needed to be renewed, because "atheists pay taxes too."
Well, we got them to put it off for a year so that we could find a new sponsor without losing our charter. But I had no reason to expect that after 25 years the Board would suddenly adopt such a policy.
