And don't forget private organizations, such as the Boy Scouts, who have the freedom to discriminate on such grounds.

The Boy Scouts are not really private, because they are given access to government facilities for their events and they are allowed to recruit in public schools. They are a discriminatory organization - it seems a lot like allowing the KKK to recruit at public schools.

And don't the Scouts have a federal "charter" or some such thing?

Yes, it is US Code, Title 36, Subtitle II, Part B, Chapter 309.

Quote:

Sec. 30902 - Purposes

The purposes of the corporation are to promote, through organization, and cooperation with other agencies, the ability of boys to do things for themselves and others, to train them in scoutcraft, and to teach them patriotism, courage, self-reliance, and kindred virtues, using the methods that were in common use by boy scouts on June 15, 1916.

Unless, of course, those boys are gays or atheists.

Thanks for the link, Shadowy Man. I've been looking all over for that charter lately.

Now if someone would be so kind as to restore the opening post.
