Saying that the Bush Administration is focused on protecting the Boy Scouts' access to public schools while ignoring the rights of gay student groups whose equal rights are often violated, Lambda Legal urged the U.S. Department of Education Wednesday to add inclusive language to policy regulations.

The new regulations were made public this week and now enter a 45-day period of public comment before going into effect.

Part of the regulations guide schools on making sure Boy Scouts groups have access to schools for meetings, recruitment and other activities.



"The goal of these regulations is to ensure that the Boy Scouts and other patriotic youth groups have equal access to public facilities, and today's action is another step toward achieving this goal."


sound like we're setting up Hitler Youth groups

Here we go again. They make the stupid regulation, we have to spend millions of dollars and several years in the courts getting it struck down.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure this kind of thing would have been stopped by a Kerry administration either.

2. You know, for a supposedly Republican politician

this sounds horribly federal. Oh, wait, I forgot - he's their Leader, and even if what he does directly contradicts the 'puke platform, it's the Right Thing To Do...

3. Will the Girl Scouts get these privilleges?

They don't have the same fundie policies as the BSA. Does an organization have to advocate homophobia and have "God" in its dogma ot be admitted to schools?
