Philadelphia Tries To Strong-Arms The Boy Scouts


The City of Brotherly Love is on the attack, and the city has their sights set on the most evil of all organizations……..the Boy Scouts? That’s right, the same group whose laws call for their members to be “helpful, friendly, and courteous” among other things, is being targeted for their “exclusionary policies”

City to Boy Scouts - Pay up, or get out

City solicitor Romy Diaz had given the 'Cradle of Liberty Council' the choice to abandon the Boy Scout’s national policy against gays, or pay market rate rent (estimated at around $200,000 a year) for its headquarters on city-owned land, or find a new home.

In the very city where our Constitution was written, it almost seems like sacrilege to attack a noble institution such as the Boys Scouts, and then claim to be doing so in the name of "righteousness." Way to go Philadelphia, I guess you showed them!
