The program, called Learning for Life, was said to be a character education program which teaches students values like respect, responsibility, honesty and fairness. A $54,000 grant would have supported the program at several Pinellas County schools. The school board decided not to fund the program due to the Boy Scouts’ discrimination against gay youth.

The Boy Scouts have said that homosexuality is inconsistent with its values. The Supreme Court ruled it is the private organization’s right.
