Thanks to our hard work, all kids, including gay kids, may have a little easier time growing up in our ever-complicated and diverse culture. The entire community loses and there are no winners. I'm proud of the fact that here in Miami-Dade we've worked hard to find opportunities for mutual understanding and common ground. Most of the lost funding was to support Scouting programs for disadvantaged children. November 2000 Broward School Board votes to disallow the Boy Scouts use of public schools in Broward County.
More common ground is found during a series of discussions and meetings.
Details are to be worked out during a series of brainstorming meetings to be conducted over the next few months. Plan is to concentrate on how the community can benefit through implementation of a compromise. Goal is to have details to be worked out by end of June. Judge rules in favor of Boy Scouts and issues a temporary injunction against Broward Schools, allowing use of the schools for Scout meetings. They have 6 months to collect 90,000 signatures.
