I thought the Left was against private organizations keeping files on people (as well as the Police, FBI doing the same thing unless a crime was committed)?
I wonder where the ACLU is going to end up on this issue, or will they sit it out?
This might provide a legal opening for other lawsuits to open up private files if there are charges of illegalities. This could apply to the Black Panthers, Sharpton’s National Action Network (fraud), Jesse Jackson’s PUSH (money used for illegal foreign contacts), ACORN (criminal frauds, election fraud), George Soro’s front (CAP, Open Society Foundation/Institute, etc).
Beware of what you wish for.
I understand that his was a LDS sponsored Scout troop. They settled out of court.
The BSA is the one on the hook for millions, but why? If they kept pervert lists in order to deny perverts access to children, isn’t that what we want? Isn’t that a proactive, positive thing?
They used to meet in the basement of our church until we had to boot them. We had one simple request of them, don't smoke in the church, they did anyway, even after being warned.
Not the kids but the adults supervising them.
Name some of them.
Heck no, the activist legal system is out to can the boy scouts. In case you have not notice, all male heterosexual organizations are frowned upon by the Dyke overlords.
It is damned if they do and damned if they don’t for the Boy Scouts, just like the femi-nazis want it for males. They will get rich running the scouts out of business and taking over their property.
The BSA is being accused of having knowledge of potential pedophiles, as evidenced by these files, but not acting on them.
“Why does this smell of a slam at Romney?”
It is killing 2 birds with one stone; an attack on Mormons in general (as some sort of secretive cult) and an attack on the Boy Scouts ban of homosexual Scout leaders.
The number of boys who are in Mormon-sponsored units is about 12 or 13%. The percentage of Mormon-sponsored units of all units is higher than that because Mormon-sponsored units tend to be smaller than the average non-Mormon-sponsored unit, due to various factors I don’t have the time to go into here as I have to get some work done.
Still, the smaller of the 4 troops would account for 50% of the troops!
If you're talking about the timing of this act of the Oregon Supreme Court, or the act itself, then I'd have to disagree.
An Oregon Court first ordered these records disclosed back in April 2010. The BSA appealed and they've now lost at the Oregon Supreme Court in due time.
Guys with little boys in the program can also be pedophiles...
Whats this ???
A Christian hater acting like a pot ???
Hi SM,
Your posts are getting longer, you must be healing up right. Glad to see you around.
I would argue that there are many things “wrong” with LDS Scouting and you listed some of them.
It’s why I see more and more LDS youth joining conventional units in my area. The LDS are failing their youth and don’t seem to care. Oh, they talk a good talk, go to WB, Philmont, etc., but implement next to nothing and/or released within 6 months of attending WB without completing their ticket.
My regard for LDS Scouting is very low, I’ve served for a number of years in LDS Scouting so I’m well aware of what goes on at the Ward and Stake level.
I’ve also served with some very good LDS Scout leaders, but they are so few and far between as to be statistically insignificant.
Flame suit on, talking “bad” (even if it is the truth) about anything LDS is sure to bring all the protectors out.
