Re: [CTRL] Helms Wants to Ban Discrimination Against Boy Scouts

You are stating Helms point exactly.  If the schools are made available for the Gay Pride group, he is stating that they should not be allowed to exclude the Boy Scouts.  You are in total sync with Good Old Jesse.  Bet that warms your heart. There has been little local autonomy since the federal programs got into full swing in the '50's. ~Amelia~ ----- Original Message ----- From: YnrChyldzWyld To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2001 3:56 PM Subject: Re: [CTRL] Helms Wants to Ban Discrimination Against Boy Scouts >Government schools that "adamantly refuse" to provide the Boy Scouts >equal access to school facilities, despite warnings, would risk >losing federal funding, Helms said.   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.   June _________________________________________________ Bravenet IncrediMail - Email has finally evolved - Click Here
