Not sure if this guy is Mormon or not, but either way he has chosen the side of righteousness despite the mocking he is receiving from the mainstream liberal atheist press. He would make Boyd K Packer proud.
An Indiana lawmaker has decided not to support a resolution celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts because he feels the group is a "radicalized organization" that "sexualizes" young girls and promotes homosexuality.
In a letter sent to Indiana lawmakers obtained by the Journal Gazette, Rep. Bob Morris (R-Fort Wayne) said he plans to pull his two daughters out of their Indiana Girl Scout troop because information he found online about how the organization allegedly operates. One source he mentions is conservative "news" site World Net Daily.
The Associated Press reports:
... Morris said he found online allegations that the Girl Scouts are a tactical arm of Planned Parenthood, encourage sex and allow transgender females to join. He also wrote that the fact that first lady Michelle Obama is honorary president should give lawmakers pause before they endorse the Girl Scouts.
Morris goes on to say those considered role models by the Girl Scouts are all "feminists, lesbians, or Communists" and claims that troops are no longer allowed to pray or sing Christmas Carols. (Read Morris's full letter to lawmakers here)
Morris is the only Indiana lawmaker who has refused to sign the nonbinding resolution, which aims to honor the "strong positive influence" the group has had on American women.
The Girl Scouts have been criticized by conservatives after allowing a 7-year-old transgender child into a Colorado troop in the fall. Ashley Sharp, assistant director of marketing for the Girl Scouts of Northern Indiana-Michiana, told the Indiana News Center that there are several websites dedicated to "exposing" the organization.
“Misinformation is passing as fact,” Diane Tipton, president of the Girl Scout Council of the Nation’s Capital, told the Washington Post in January. “The Girl Scout organization does not take a position on abortion or birth control, and these topics are not part of the Girl Scout program or our materials. We believe these matters are best discussed by girls with their families.”
In response to these allegations, the Girl Scouts have released a statement of where they stand on sensitive issues here

Some people are so hilarious...well, scary actually.
My daughter went to the local area Christmas Caroling event in December. She's also learned about the importance of water, caring for the environment and community service.
Oh, and COOKIES. We've all learned the importance of GS cookies. Those things are super easy to sell!
I chose to put my daughter in GS rather than the LDS Achievement Day program because the AD program has no real manual so the girls end up with lessons on modesty and how to choose a husband (they are 8!!!).
As for the transgendered child who wanted to be a GS, wow, I cannot even imagine how hard life must be for her. I am also not sure how a 7 year old little child is a threat to society. The truth is, society is a threat to her. The things that lunatic wrote about transgender children make me so angry I can't see straight.

Aha! So you admit it--the Girl Scouts ARE an America-hating Communist front!

Which makes it a healthy and safe organization for girls to join and participate in.

Not by a long shot as, for example, Planned Parenthood is all about getting teens and pre-teens to defy their parents, experiment with sex, and says homosexuality is okay despite the considerable health risks associated with it.
Perhaps you should familiarize yourself with Planned Parenthood productions such as The Blue Dove and The Last Train.

The subtext here is that the Girl Scouts isn't anti-women, ergo they are feminists and one of the enemies of the church.
