I'm sorry, but didn't they hear we're in a recession?

Racial issues or not, why should the council have to foot the bill for this parade?

If they want a Parade, raise the cash themselves.

Nah, the Scouts got wise years ago and in the Scout Promise they can substitute whatever fits to the god part like so

At least the last time I was required to learn it that was the case.

It now looks to be the case that the word used should be God but that it should be taken that God can mean whatever the child believes in.

Well said Baph, Council has not banned the parade just said it will not be funding it.
