...Latter-day Saints have been instrumental in helping defeat pro-gay initiatives in at least three states. In 1995 Jack Goaslind Jr., a prominent church member who currently sits on the Scouts advisory council, said the church "would withdraw our charter membership" if scouting were required to admit gays. Moreover, in the Dale case, most major conservative groups in the U.S., from the Family Research Council to the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations, have sided with the Scouts...

...These results have clearly raised the interest of many states. But unlike innovations in elementary education, such as charter schools and voucher programs, changes to public university systems happen to an entire state at a time - and that's a pretty big chunk of the population to experiment with. The problem is that the fate of this policy, which stands to affect so many, very soon, seems destined to be decided by cross-party bickering rather than reasoned debate...
