    California lawmakers are looking into way to punish the Boy Scouts of America for its anti-gay policy.

    FOX News Radio’s Jeff Monosso reports:

    California State Sen. Ricardo Lara, a Democrat from Long Beach, introducing a bill that would strip the Boy Scouts of tax exemptions – punishment for not including gay, transgender or atheist scouts or scout leaders, a practice some call discriminatory.

    If the bill SB-323 becomes law, other groups like the Girl Scouts, 4-H and Pop Warner football would also be scrutinized.  Opponents say the bill conflicts with a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that upheld the right of private groups to exclude whoever they want.
