Blogs: Assigned Entry #2. Slanted Reporting on the Boy Scouts and Homosexuals

  

   In this story the facts that are being stated are the boy scouts have not changed their policy about allowing members stay if they are homosexuals. I believe they are innocent people that want to be accepted in a life changing organization. The policy of Boy Scouts of America states "While the BSA does not proactively inquire about the sexual orientation of employees, volunteers, or members, we do not grant membership to individuals who are open or avowed homosexuals or who engage in behavior that would become a distraction to the mission of the BSA." I believe its not right that the person in charge of the boy scouts organization will not change or surrender to those terms established about gay rights. Because the editors of The New York Times think its noteworthy that an organization wont change with the times. Or perhaps more cynically, they believe that those who wont change with the times need to be singled out for public scruting. By these individuals being singled out in public also leads this to bulling.
