Scout Appeal
24 February 2005
A Michigan atheist, John Scalise, is appealing to the Supreme Court to review a ruling that allows Boy Scout recruitment posters inside schools. Scalise argues that the Scouts discriminate against nonreligious boys and parents and the schools are therefore sponsoring religious discrimination. In 1997, Scalise volunteered to be a troop leader when his son joined the Cub Scouts, but his membership was revoked when he refused to sign a declaration recognizing an "obligation to God."
