And in their zeal to attack private groups, they would expand government power far beyond what is wise or right. The ACLU holds that the government should not help the Boy Scouts. By this logic, a Scout would be precluded from helping an old lady across the street because that street is supported by public tax dollars. In several cities, the ACLU is suing to lock Scouts out of public schools for that very reason. The Boy Scouts teach young men to respect the law, to help the unfortunate, to give to the community, and to respect and preserve the nation s vast natural resources.
Scouts learn the consequences of their actions and the moral worth of teamwork.
To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight. The ACLU will not stop its war against the Scouts until they interpret that oath the ACLU way, define diversity the ACLU way, and recruit as members those whom the ACLU deems acceptable. Perhaps only when the ACLU creates the merit badges will the campaign end. In a sense, though, this campaign of legal harassment is just another step for an ACLU that now marches more than symbolically with Nazis and the North American Man-Boy Love Association. What it is doing is just an extension of its plastic, self-serving reading of the Constitution and American law.
