IMS onoup O* 1M UNIVtHITY X Is) DALLAS (AP) — Boy Scouts of America is "disappointed" that the San Francisco school board has banned an in-school training pro gram administered by the organi zation because it refuses to admit homosexuals. About 9,000 students were participating the program, which Boys Scouts of America says is de signed to promote self-esteem, ethical decision making, commu nity service and personal growth. The action, however, has not forced the 81-year-old Irving, Texas-based group to reconsider its policy to include homosexuals among its 4.5 million members. "It is inappropriate to change those values, just to expand the rank of the organization," said Blake Lewis, a spokesman for the non-profit group. The program San Francisco of ficials objected to is a prototype of the newly launched Learning for Life program. The "non-tradition- al" program in San Francisco in cludes regular scouts and other groups — including girls — that traditionally have been excluded from the Boy Scout ranks, Lewis said. The Boy Scouts of America be lieves a scout's vow to remain "morally straight" means a het erosexual orientation. Attacks by critics are viewed by the organization's leaders as professional jealousy, Lewis said, not as genuine civil rights dis putes. "Scouting has become very, very successful," he said. "People have decided at all costs they're going to try to get into the organi zation. "I think with our success with young people, people are saying they want that benefit for their children." Tom Ammiano, the San Fran cisco school board member who presented the ban against the in school program, disagreed. "I tend to think the stand that you take against discrimination re ally reflects the kind of school dis trict that you have," said Ammi ano. "I understand sometimes it seems risky because you have or ganizations like the Boy Scouts who seem to be sacrosanct. But it's like a member of your family. You tell them, 'When you're wrong, you're wrong.'" Although the Boy Scouts doesn't view the San Francisco school board's move as a possible rejection trend nationwide, it is one of several recent challenges to the organization. For example in Miami this summer. Circuit Court Judge Eu gene Fierro refused to order the Boy Scouts to accept 8-year-old Margo Mankes. The girl wanted to attend a scout camp with her brothers and filed a sex discrimi nation lawsuit. HELP!
