San Antonio
holds back
records of
police conduct
SAN ANTONIO (AP) - The
city of San Antonio has shown a
pattern of violating state law by
refusing to disclose records of in-
primarycot vestigations into police conduct,
;s within k an Austin judge said in a written
growth. opinion.
m hashelpe; 1 The opinion by state District
y, since tha: f Judge Jeanne Meurer ,of Travis
County in a suit filed by the San
Antonio Light statesi.the city re
peatedly has violated the Open
Records Act.
The suit stems from a request
by The Light for complaints
against police, the officers' re
sponses, results of complaints and
letters from the city to com
plainants explaining decisions.
The city is appealing Meurer's
ruling.
The judge wrote the city "has
shown a pattern, practice and de
facto policy of violating the Open
Records Act by refusing to dis
close any records of the San Anto
nio Police Department, even those
previously ruled to be public in
formation by the attorney general
of Texas."
The city has released sum
maries of police internal affairs
probes, rather than the documents
themselves. The police department
and City Council have contended
the documents are exceptions to
state law.

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.
