I agree that Boy Scouts have a right to chose who they hang out with. However, Breck, the United Way and the rest of us have a right to decide not to hang out with the Boy Scouts. And the Boy Scouts have increasingly become a religious organization. They use religious grounds to justify their discrimination against gays. They have also asserted their right to discriminate against atheist and neopagan children. As a relgious organization, they have a right to discriminate on a religious basis, but they are absolutely not entitled to support from the Minneapolis public schools for such discrimination.
