Groups opposed to the traditional values espoused by the Hoy Scouts continue theii campaign of intimidation and pressure. In California, several l(K-a-l bar associations are seeking to ostracize the Hoy Scouts by prohibiting slate conn judges from participat- ing in the organization on the ground that its ban on homo- sexual leaders makes it a "hate gmup" akin to the San Franciscos judges have already formally cut ties with the scouts. The contention that the Scouts should be Hoy shunned by respectable peo-pl- e literally treated as profoundly misguided, lor several reasons. First, the Hoy Scouts are an American institution a national icon. Over 3.3 million youth members, and more than 1.2 million adult volunteers, currently paiticipate.

PATRICKS CHURCH Faith and Hegorra Join us for an evening of ' fuiT! - out-casts-- is the Hov Scouts were founded in 191(9 have participated in scouting. In 1916, the U.S. Congress issued a special charter to the Boy Scouts in recognition of their public service. Nearly 40 million copies of The Hoy Scouts Handbook have been printed since 1911, making it one of the most popular books of all time. Eight sitting U.S. Senators, 13 Representatives and countless other distinguished Americans are former Eagle Scouts. More than half of the current Congress participated in scouting, and many still do, as adult volunteers and leaders. It is ludicrous to depict the Boy Scouts as disreputable or out of the mainstream, the Second, ongoing assault, on the Boy Scouts is inspired solely by an agenda-KKdriven and content-base- d disagreement with the gro- ups core values, and in K, particular with the Boy Sco- uts exercise of its constitutional right to exclude homosexual adult leaders. Under any other circumstances, the attempt to punish-a- nd sup-press- -a group for its legiticonstitutional rights would be viewed as vindictive or even oppressive. But a double standard is at work. Throughout the 1990s, gays, atheists and the ACLU brought a series of but ultimately unsuccessful lawsuits against the Boy Scouts. Despite losing all of these lawsuits, including the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision in mate highly-publiciz- ed Boy Scouts of America v. Dale, which recognized the Boy Scouts rights of free association and expression, liberal groups press the fight into other quarters. These "sore losers" are on a mission to destroy the Boy Scouts. The California Supreme should emphatically reject the misguided blacklisting proposal. Court Historians say the first important European civilization, the Minoan culture, began on the Greek island of Crete about 5,000 years ago. |
