What are they thinking?
Well once again I find myself posting what may be a controversial topic.
Controversial only to those they do not agree with the Boy Scouts of America’s positions and values that is.
In the city of brotherly love.. it seems that they fail to see the value of Scouting.
The city has pandered to a group of supporters of the homosexual community that feel a private organization should abandon its beliefs and values and cater to a “Politically correct” view of what others feel is right.
So because the city can not legally punish the Boy Scouts, it has decided to hurt them in the wallet, taking a “Business approach” rather than a legal one to cater to the minority.
The City of Philadelphia has rented the Cradle of Liberty Council the property that is home to the Council office since 1928 for $1 a year. They have decided because the Boy Scouts will not permit homosexuality they will now have to pay rent at the “Fair market price” of $200,000 a year.
So lets do the quick math. That means cutting programs. Cutting programs means less Scouts and less Scouting opportunities. This means less young men learning good values and becoming good men. Men of Character, good citizenship, and values.
It sounds like there is not much the Council can do, but I sure hope they refuse to pay and move somewhere else. The Scouting program MUST go on and stay available to the boys and girls of Philadelphia.
One tiny little pebble thrown in this huge pond is creating tidal waves. These activist that do not think beyond the end of their nose do not realize the impact of their zealous action.
They have no idea that they have impacted the lives of thousands of young boys and girls in a NEGATIVE WAY!
The problem is I know they sleep good at night. It really troubles me that they hate Scouting so much that they would attempt to shut it down. What troubles me more is that a City government..men and women elected by the people, to serve the people..all the people. In a country were the Majority rules (right or wrong).. these City Councilors have pandered to the minority and is attempting to dismantle an organization that can do nothing but make the city better. What are they thinking?!
Happy Scouting!
