Two boys ended up leaving the Boy Scouts recently. Apparently, the parents of the other boys in their troop were worried that their good Christian sons would be preached to by the two Wiccans.

It's a little bit of amusement in a sad, sad article.

It's not a matter of whether the Boy Scouts have the right to be bigots, it's whether being a bigot is wrong.

And, well, it is wrong.

Likely this matter will get bumped up to them and in a few weeks/months/years we'll get an official stance on Boy Scouts and Wiccans.

That worked so well with the Boy Scouts' official position on gays.

You're right, this does suck for the kids. But it's not their fault - it's their parents. THEY should have been the ones smart enough to see the problem here.

Which parents? The bigoted parents, or the former Eagle Scout who sent his kids to scouting even though they're OMG WICCANS?
