Alone in the entire country, Covington moms closed down their troop after Colorado Girl Scouts admitted a transgendered 7-year-old. The withdrawal is purportedly a manifestation of Christian faith, but these sure are some uptight moms. They have nothing to fear in Louisiana, where the Girl Scout council declared in November that no gender ambiguities would be tolerated. That policy was promulgated only after the Colorado Girl Scouts accepted Bobby Montoya, and the matrons of St. Tammany asked whether a similar abomination would be permitted here.
