By FS Editor, on June 15th, 2018 In our ongoing efforts to prevent discrimination, we have created a letter of appeal to schools and school districts, which calls to their attention the fact that the Boy Scouts of America is a private organization which practices discrimination against non-believers, LGBT and the disabled. Please review the letter and consider taking action with us.
