[Winona Online Democracy]
Teachable moments like this are important! You are to be commended! Thanks
for sharing your personal experiences. I regret that the religious badge
was not given to Unitarians. Learning to work within organizations is a
very important concept. Stay the course over a long time and sometimes it
works. Modeling that kind of behavior has far more positive impact than the
verbal abuse that is going on in this community to both the Scouts and the
United Way.
