Absolutely, it's called segregation. Except for some progroms and inquistions, Jews have been tolerated for most of the past 2000 years. Even in the early 20th century United State, we were tolerated. It was only when we tried to check into certain hotels and join certain country clubs that we found the difference between 'tolerance' and 'inclusion'.
I appreciate the good work of the Scouts. I was a Cub Scout a long time ago. However, as good citizens, the Scouting organization should be the first to understand the need to uphold principals, and one principal of this nation is that individuals should not be forced to have their taxes go to support organizations which actively discriminate against them (except for the armed forces). This includes the use of public resources.
