Obviously, they do not believe what you do in what is a controversial issue. I do not think that borrowing a video and pamphlet series, which, to the best of my knowledge, does not even touch on such issues as homosexuality, is of great danger to FIRST.

Well the BSA uses its child abuse policy as a grounds for discrimination so considering how little we know about what FIRST is doing it seems like a legitimate concern to me.
