California school board bans Boy Scouts
The Associated Press
DALLAS— The Boy Scouts of America says it will stand by its policy against homosexuals despite the San Francisco school system's ban on Scout activities during school hours.
"It is inappropriate to change those values, just to expand the rank of the organization," said Blake Lewis, spokesman for the Texas-based group.
the San Francisco Board of Education voted 5-1 Friday to bar a new Scout program, Learning for Life, because of the Boy Scouts' ban on homosexuals. The program had enrolled about 9,000 public school students.
Earlier, a committee of the Oakland, Calif., board of education recommended Scouts be barred for the same reason. The entire board has not voted.
Learning For Life was introduced in San Francisco schools this fall after the Bay Area United Way, spurred by charges from a gay civil rights group that the Scouts discriminate against homosexuals, with
Girls, homosexuals and atheists ages 9 through 18 are welcome in the program, which is separate from girls.
Traditional Scout programs continue to bar homosexuals, a policy based on the Scouts' oath and laws, both written in 1910, that require members to be
"morally straight," Lewis said.
San Francisco school board member Tom Ammilius sponsored the ban, saying that the Learning for
Children program is important.
The organization also excludes girls and anyone who will not take a religious oath.
The ban won't affect the Scouts' right to use public schools after hours.
Ammiano, who is gay, said he realized it was risky taking on the Seouts, an 81-year-old organization with 4.5 million members.
"But it's like a member of your family. You tell them, When you're wrong, you're wrong," he said.
