Girl Scout Leader Quits for Pro-Life.
_The Girl Scouts, which have already come under fire for numerous links to the Planned Parenthood abortion business and having pro-abortion speakers at their recent national conference, are under fire again.
Now,
an Arizona college student who is an employee of the Girl Scouts has
quit her job after scouting leaders informed her she would have to turn
her pro-life T-shirt inside out. Renise Rodriguez, a 21-year-old
religious studies major at the University of Arizona, worked as a Girl
Experience Associate for the Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona in Tucson.
When she went to her office last week during her off-duty hours to prepare materials for a meeting, she was told twice by a supervisor that if she planned to stay in the office or attend a troop meeting she would have to turn her shirt inside out.
Rodriguez quit in response.
“I started to get emotional because of the way I was treated so I left without preparing for the meeting and told my co-worker that she would have to get the stuff together,” she said. “As I was driving out, I called a friend crying and told her the story. I was so shocked at the way I was treated. After contemplating it for the rest of that day, I decided to write my letter of resignation.”
Her letter did not specify her reason for resigning, but she plans to discuss it with another supervisor when she does her formal exit interview.
Bryan Kemper, Director of Youth Outreach for Priests for Life, told LifeNews he supports Rodriguez for standing up for their pro-life views.
