The simple explanation and solution is that the BSA is a private organisation

Is the BSA really a religious institution?
The Pentagon, the ACLU, and the pissant, whiney, self-important Athiest parent who complained for the sake of complaining about this have all made a big mistake with this.

Atheists and the ungodly ACLU are trying to breach the high morals that the BSA instills in millions of our fine young boys that will eventually become outstanding citizens of this great nation.

Does this mean the Pentagon should stop funding the military because of their don't ask don't tell policy, and the discrimination that occurs if they tell?

There's definitely a case to be made that its implicitly protected however.

It's not the fact that the BSA discriminates against homosexuals that's the (legal) problem, it's that they discriminate based on religious grounds. When the .mil starts saying that anyone but atheists can join, then you may have a case.

The BSA bans gays from holding jobs. General Dynamics can't do this. Northrop Grumman can't do this, heck, even Halliburton can't do this..

Yeah but do any of these companies primarily deal with underage kids? And only males for that matter.
Should we let girls into the BSA because all these companies have males and females?
