So much for local autonomy.
I have a problem when any federal bureacrat of any flavor starts
dictating what local schoolboards can and cannot do. If what Helms
is trying to do is acceptable, it is just as acceptable to demand local
schoolboards be forced to make their premises available to the KKK,
Wiccans, Satan worshipers, Aryan Nation, catechism classes for the local
Catholic church. If the BSA has an intrinsic right to these
facilities, so do any and all other groups.
