by Rick Perry
First published 2008
Rick Perry takes on the critics who have targeted the Boy Scouts of America. He breaks down the specific issues that fuel these attacks and identifies the groups behind them. Perry shows how opponents use religious freedom arguments to push God out of public life, creating an ironic situation where their success would actually limit religious liberty. He examines the Boy Scouts' decision to stand firm against political correctness, particularly their policy on homosexual scoutmasters. The book traces the legal battles facing the organization and reveals how the BSA has fought back and largely won. Perry uses polling data to compare Scout values with broader American attitudes. His analysis demonstrates that Scouting principles align closely with what most Americans believe.
