Their choice. But no matter how much liberals try, they will never down the organization with their gay fascism.
How many KKK members were there in the 1960's vs. Now? I can find estimates of 3000-5000 in 2012, but no reliable estimates for that time period. I can also find that the membership seemed to have peaked in the '20s with somewhere between 3 and 5 million.
"This week, Intel, which was recently identified as the Scouts' largest corporate funder, announced that it is no longer giving to the youth organization. In 2010, Intel reportedly gave more than $700,000 to local troops and councils. In a statement to ThinkProgress, Intel clarified its policies, and said that it would no longer give to organizations that were out of step with its nondiscrimination principals (sic)."
What does a "Chief Diversity Officer" do, anyway? A CDO must be right up there with the CEO, COO, and CFO. And if there's a chief, shouldn't there also be indians? - a diversity department of some kind?
"Chief Diversity Officer"?
Is that the Office of Anything Goes?
Sounds like it to me.
Corporations figured out a while ago that Diversity=Profit. Nothing to do with values. Corps exist to make money, and decisions are made on that premise.
CDO's are employed in around 25% of American corps.
Not directly, it doesn't, by any stretch of imagination.
Anyone who has worked in a large corporate office knows full well that diversity obsession cripples productivity. But CEOs are scared to death of diversity based lawsuits and are convinced that they must jump through every hoop held before them by every imaginable special interest group in order to shore up what little profit remains after all is said and done.
Intel gave the non-discrimination policy as the reason for withdrawing support, but maybe that's just one reason. New information has just been uncovered which details how over two decades the boy scout leadership failed to report admitted child molesters, allowed them to gracefully resign and, in many cases, helped them cover their tracks.
agreed, the Boy Scots have become a liability. They are on the wrong side of almost every issue, and are earning a reputation similar to the Catholic church when it comes to "admiring" boys.

No one is saying that corporations can not take diversity to far, but I would disagree that diversity does not equal profit.
Lets say you have 100 people
Lets say 80 people are group A, 10 people group B, and 10 people group c
10% are likely to be high performers
You would want to recruit from the entire 100. Only going after group A would limit your chances of finding talent.
Countries that don't hire women, for instance, are ignoring 50% of their potential workforce. That means you have to hire more crappy people. . .
Diversity is good. . .though I think corporations can go a little crazy. i.e. you could do the opposite (hire too many of a group, thus getting bad candiates anyway)

"stand up"...lol...this ain't a crusade. It's just business. Boyscouts policy is just business too. Their main demographic is pretty homophobic, it's good business for them to discriminate.
