In the Abood and Keller cases, the Supreme Court ruled that requiring dues from a dissenting individual to pay for ideological activities is unconstitutional if the funded activities fall outside the goals of the organization

Interesting...and supposedly the remedy is to go find an organization that you agree with and send your portion to that org.

It's a logistics nightmare, IMO, much akin to the United Way Myth that says you can direct your donation to a particular group.

The Boy Scouts of America can always use more money, and for the purposes of this it's probably an education organization, not a religious one.
