Boy Scouts May Discriminate–NPR’s March 24, 1998 Morning Edition

Ansel Martinez of member station KQED in San Francisco reports that two rulings by the California Supreme Court say the Boy Scouts of America are not covered by the state’s anti-discrimination laws. The ruling allows the Boy Scouts to exclude anyone who does not wish to follow the guidelines set by the Scouts, such as atheists, gays, and lesbians.

Gay Scouts–All Things Considered, March 23, 1998

Linda Wertheimer talks with Irwin Chemerinsky, a professor of law at the University of Southern California, about a California state Supreme Court ruling today stating that the Boy Scouts are not covered by the state’s civil rights laws and can exclude gays, agnostics and atheists. The court said the Scouts are not a business are therefore free, like any private organization, to set their own membership policies.

When commentator Nick Gillespie was an Eagle Scout, he was taught qualities of leadership, teamwork, and service to the community. He says that those values had remarkably very little to do with sexual orientation or belief in a supreme being. He’s disturbed by yesterday’s California Supreme Court ruling allowing the Boy Scouts of America to bar gays and atheists from membership — but he’s also disturbed that these policies are being hashed out in the courts. He thinks it’s wrong to force any organization whose membership is voluntary to adopt a code of ethics — and he thinks the Scouts should be judged in the court of public opinion.
