Not on our tax dollars

Thanks to Ed over at Dispatches from the Culture Wars for this good news:

The SCOTUS denied cert in the case involving the city of Berkeley and the Sea Scouts. The Sea Scouts, affiliated with the Boy Scouts, discriminate against atheists and gays. The city of Berkeley had a program of giving free slips at the city marina to non-profit groups, but not to those groups that engage in discrimination. The Sea Scouts sued all the way to the California Supreme Court and lost. The court essentially ruled that while as a private organization, the Scouts have a right to engage in such discrimination, that doesn't mean that government agencies have to fund their activities or provide subsidies for them. The ruling was unanimous, and the SCOTUS rejected the appeal, allowing that ruling to stand.
