File, From: Sent: To: Russell H. chancellor@liberty.edu Thursday, August 02, 2001 11:59 PM chancellors-motd@listserv.liberty.edu FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Subject: FALWELL CONFIDENTIAL A weekly briefing for America's pastors and Christian leaders who may use this publication without attribution. This publication is made available, without charge, to the evangelical pastors who are part of the "Friends of Jerry Falwell Support Circle." DATE: August 2, 2001 FROM: JERRY FALWELL The end of the Boys Scouts as we know them? Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court found that the Boy Scouts of America - as a private organization that recruits like-minded members - can determine their own employee standards. A Scout named James Dale lost his challenge of the Boy Scout policy that prohibits homosexuals from serving; he was rejected as an adult scoutmaster after he became publicly involved in a college homosexual organization. Following that High Court decision, homosexual-rights organizations in our nation have been on a relentless year-long campaign to define the Scouts as an organization of hate and intolerance. Subsequently, some school districts and communities have adopted policies that ban the Scouts from utilizing their facilities. Apparently, the so-called "right to privacy" only works in our nation these days as long as that privacy is politically correct. And apparently, the Boy Scoutsl sterling history of training 110 million American boys to be tomorrow's leaders means nothing. Under pressure, a Boy Scout council in Massachusetts has adopted a policy permitting homosexual scoutmasters to be affiliated with local troops if they agree not to discuss their sexual orientation with boys. And last week, the Miami-Dade Boy Scouts, under threat of losing public funding and public school sponsorship, agreed to a number of demands, including directing young boys who may be "questioning their sexuality" to visit with a homosexual organization. I wonder if those boys will also be directed to an organization that consists of "ex gays" who have, through a committed relationship with Jesus Christ, escaped the dangerous homosexual lifestyle? If the boys are indeed "questioning," shouldn't they receive all pertinent information? see.
