What was our motto again, hate or be kind?

The Education Department is poised to give more access to the Boy Scout of America, a "patriotic youth group". That's right, give more access to a discriminatory group. Promote values of hate and exclusion to impressionable young people. As long as they salute that flag, let them hate and exclude anyone they want. I can see the signs now: BSA group meets at 12:00pm, over lunch. All are welcome. Except the queers. I used to be a Boy Scout (imagine if they knew I was queer?!!? I probably would have used by one of them to earn the Hate Gays badge!) and now I'm a government teacher. The irony of allowing a group that discriminates into an institution based on equality (by need, ability, religion, etc) is hysterical!

Only in America do we continue the viscious cycle of denying then granting rights to blacks, women, American Indians, 18 year olds, Irish-Americans, Jews, Japanese-Americans, Quakers, Italian-Americans, Muslims, and loads of other groups over and over again through out history, and NOT learn from our mistakes.
