I’m sorry, I missed where I said “The Girl Guides better do as I say or else…” Instead I said “good for them.” Don’t put words in my mouth.

So sure, the Girl Guides can be as bigoted and prejudice as they want, but when they use publicly owned property (for discounts or free), then there’s some issues.

You do realize you are a fascist for advocating forced governmental policy change in a non-governmental organization as a non-member? A private organization can do what it wishes, it is rights in reference to interactions with the government that are bound by equality under the constitution.

Way to confuse public and private spheres of life, Hitler.

I didn’t know that. I do know that atheists and homosexuals are banned from the Scouts in the USA (and also receive a lot of public space / endorsement, thereby violating the First Amendment).

Good move.

It’s too bad Scouts Canada is not so tolerant. Actually, not only do they require God in their pledge, but during the interviews for those who wish to be a leader, if someone answers that they have no faith or are an atheist or whatever they cannot be a leader.
