However....

BSA discriminates against gays. Period. They have been told that they can't, but replied that they were a private institution and they could do as they damned well please. This is absolutely true. However, it seems to me tho be perfectly fair to then exclude them from schools. Certainly the state owes it to parents to prevent a group from preaching bigotry to their children in the context of education. (Unless, of course, the parents send their kid to a religious school, in which case teaching intolerance is perfectly fine. Feh.)
