How Long Will Conservative Christians Continue to Support the Boy Scouts?
May 21, 2015
It was bad enough when the Boy Scouts named war criminal Robert Gates as its president. Now he is calling for the ban on gay scout leaders to be ended. How long will conservative Christians continue to support the Boy Scouts? The ban on gay scout members has already been lifted. There are, of course, other reasons to avoid the Boy Scouts, as these LRC articles here and here, and this blog post, point out.
And how strange that an organization with a former secretary of defense as its president has banned the use of water guns.
