Who would have thought, a mere thirty years ago, if that, that great American institutions such as the Cub Scouts and the Boy Scouts would be victimized by the same left wing political agendas as everything else that comes under attack by the barely disguised, yet somehow unacknowledged by so many people, forces of communism that by now have become entrenched within, and under the umbrella of, the Democratic Party?

Over such an issue as not allowing homosexuals to assume the role of scout leader!

What parent, short of a left winger in need of a little American moral deterioration or a gay male/female who maintains custody of some poor child and wants to bring that child up in the same image, so to speak, wants his or her own child of impressionable age to be given into the “role model” influence of an adult, a “leader”, whose sexual preferences are, at best, an aberration to them?

Don’t get me wrong, here, I’ll say again that I, and the guys here at Hard Astarboard as well, have nothing against two consenting adults of the same gender “making whoopie”, as Seth so tactfully (not!) puts it, as long as they keep it behind closed doors and/or among those of their own “community” and don’t force what are essentially their perversions on the rest of us.

That applies to having them assert their influence on such conservative and character building organizations as the Cub Scouts and the Boy Scouts, to both of which our (Wolf and I) sons belonged when they were growing up.

Why do these people feel such a need, anyway, to become scout leaders, or is this just another case of the political left sticking their filthy fingers into yet another institution in hopes of still further decaying our American sense of values?

Public School Boots Cub Scouts

A federal civil rights complaint has been filed against the Salt Lake City School Board after a principal booted a Cub Scout pack from an elementary school.

About 30 eight to 11 year-olds were told they could no longer meet at Mountain View Elementary School because the Boy Scout’s ban on gay members in leaders conflicted with the school district’s anti-bias policy.

The ban drew the ire of Michael Clara, a school board member and lifetime Boy Scout. Clara filed the federal complaint on behalf of two Latino parents.

“I believe it is an assault on the founding principles of our country for school officials to attempt to exclude a voice no less legitimate than its own from public school participation,” Clara told Fox News. “A marketplace of ideas devoid of competitive viewpoints engenders an insidious society of conformity, contrary to the fundamental precepts of our Constitution.”

He claims the school district is violating the Boy Scout Act – a law that requires schools to allow access to the Boy Scouts if they allow access to outside groups.

SNIP!

On March 16 two Latino parents contacted Clara after the principal informed them the Cub Scout pack would no longer be allowed to meet at the school.

Three days later the school board member received a telephone call from the principal confirming that directive.

“(He) confirmed that the Cub Scouts were prohibited from meeting in the building because they will not allow gay scout leaders,” he said.

Clara, who describes himself as a Christian conservative Republican who supports gay rights, said he was very concerned by the ban.

“Why on Earth would we want to remove something positive from the school,” he asked. “Where does this end? It’s a form of discrimination in the name of intolerance.”

The Cub Scouts had been meeting at the school for three years – but since their eviction – meetings have ceased.

What is happening to this great country? How are such people as this principal even promoted to such positions in a country that was founded on sensible morality, and Judeo-Christian principles?

This sleazeball certainly illustrates the fact that there are two different meanings between principal and principle!
