Ranman328 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) Just read an article that BSA paid $18,000.00 to the New Jersey cub scout that was kicked out of the Pack before the Transgender Policy was made official. They also issued an official apology. I am done with the BSA Edited March 4, 2017 by RememberSchiff Crude language Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stosh Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 If they keep doing this they're going to up the ante on their FOS presentations and double down on over priced popcorn just to break even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David CO Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) The article says that the local council settled the lawsuit, not BSA. I think we need to remember that local councils are chartered, not owned, by BSA. I am generally in agreement that councils should obey the local state laws. In this particular case, I think the laws of New Jersey are abhorrent. This is also true of most of the coastal (blue) states. Yet, the state laws must be obeyed. Fortunately, I can choose to live elsewhere. Edited March 5, 2017 by David CO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalicoPenn Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Qwazse - I was indeed responding to Ranman 328. I would have quoted him but ever since I "upgraded" my Internet Explorer on my home computer, the quote function, the post function (I have to go in to more reply options to post), and the ability to make proper paragraphs has gone poof (when you see posts from me properly formated and quoted, I'm using a different computer.

Generally speaking, NJ's anti-discrimination laws deal with public accommodations (which I believe the BSA claims not to be). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalicoPenn Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 New Jersey's laws against discrimination are abhorent? Care to explain that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David CO Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Can't really explain it without violating the warnings given by this forums moderators. I'll just let my comments stand as they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
