Who is trying to force their views on who?

Recently, Democrats passed a resolution which contained language admonishing the Boy Scouts for not allowing homosexuals to serve as scout leaders. Today they passed a resolution honoring the Girl Scouts because they allow lesbian scout leaders.

The following is from a press release issued by the Assembly Republican Caucus.

Democrats’ Girl Scout Resolution Serves As Thinly Veiled Forum For Radical Agenda

Republicans Say Political Platform Has No Business in Assembly Resolution

SACRAMENTO – Assembly Democrats used a resolution honoring the Girl Scouts of America as a vehicle to promote their agenda that is inconsistent with California’s hardworking families.

“This doesn’t praise the Girl Scouts, it sets an agenda that the mainstream of California does not agree with,” said Assemblywoman Sharon Runner, R-Lancaster. “The Legislature should be working on a responsible, bipartisan budget, but the Assembly Democrats continue to play politics – even with a resolution honoring the Girl Scouts.”

ACR 48, by Assemblywoman Jackie Goldberg, D-Los Angeles, commends the Girl Scouts of America for 93 years of inspiring girls to be successful. But the resolution also contains unnecessary language regarding Scouts’ sexual orientation.

Assembly Republicans submitted amendments to delete references to sexual orientation, so the resolution would have honored the Girl Scouts without promoting any political agenda. Assembly Democrats killed the amendments on a party-line vote, instead adopting the politically motivated resolution on a 44-12 vote.

“As a former Girl Scout, I deeply value the contributions that this organization has made to generations of Americans,” Runner said. “It’s a shame that the Assembly’s majority party is unable to honor either the Girl Scouts or the Boy Scouts without engaging in partisan politics.”

ACR 48 was sent to the Senate for further debate.

I agree with Sharon Runner. Why can’t they simply honor the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts for their contributions to society? Is it really necessary to politicize these groups by involving them in promoting such a controversial political agenda?

If this is not an attempt by the Jackie Goldberg and the LGBT movement to force their values on the Boy Scouts, I don’t know what is.
