Shields of bigotry

Put it this way according to Gregg Shields, national
   spokesman for the 5.8 million member Boy Scouts of America:
       " When a scouts admits he is... GAY, atheist,different,
   etc. ..., he will receive a notification that he is no longer
   a Boy Scout. "
       Perhaps he need not even ADMIT the abomination. A virtuous
   scout can earn a Spying Merit Badge by exposing the queers in
   the troop .
         Actually I have a high opinion of the Boy Scouts and I
   know that the best form of Americanism - a live and let live
   non-chalance about the other fellow's idiosyncracies - is a
   a living reality for most boy scouts.
        For gay scouts or straight scouts, I highly recommend
   CHASTITY in these very young years. That will keep them
   ALL out of trouble!
       Add: " A scout is chaste" to the venerable code.
       And a polite gay scout would no more discuss his
  homosexuality with non-approving scouts than a polite atheist
  would discuss God's non-existence with nuns.
      There are ways to get along in this world. Let's find
  them!
