Not only is this an unfair and disgraceful attempt to compare the BSA's policy to discriminate based on their moral code to a group that promotes hate and racism, but it is an inaccurate and losing argument. The Boy Scouts are not saying that all atheists are bad people they are simply saying that being an atheist is not compatable with being a Boy Scout. Discriminating membership to an organization does not equate to promoting hate against those that are excluded. This argument is completely false anyway.

The ACLU's hateful war against the BSA is one more good reason to support the Public Expression of Religion Act. Let's stop paying the ACLU to destroy America and freedom.

David Fidanque, executive director of the Oregon ACLU ... argued, a hate group such as the Ku Klux Klan could make a presentation in an Oregon school about joining, and it would not be discrimination as long as it didn't mention it restricts membership to white people.

Get out. The KKK is a 'Hate Group'?!?!? Since when? And what's he mean it's only restricted to white people? That's patently absurd.

(mocking ACLU for comparing the BSA to the Klan. So NO hissy fits please)

So the Anti American CLU compares the Boy Scouts to the Klan.

Amazing.

"An atheist mother represented by the ACLU complained that allowing Boy Scouts to recruit in public schools on the same basis as other groups discriminated against her atheist son who attends Portland public schools."

The ACLU must be running out of ideas for frivelous lawsuits, because now their arguments don't even make sense. How is it discrimination to OFFER students membership in an orginization that is slightly religious. If it was MANDATORY then their argument would hold water, but don't say it's discrimination when your kid is allowed to be within 50 feet of someone who believes in God.

It's freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion. (And yes I did get that off a T-shirt, but it's true nonetheless.)

ACLU is the most dangerous legal hate group in this country.

ACLU = (Anti-)American Communist Lawyers Union.

My brother just became a Tiger Cub scout (I suppose that's a level of cub scouts? Not sure), and I'm glad The BSA has been winning these lawsuits. Unfortunately, the GSA (Girl scouts) weren't near as good as they could have been. I wish I was a male so I could be a boy scout.

Has the GSA had the same trouble with the ACLU, or have they collapsed under pressure?
