The New York Times reports a lawsuit by the NAACP against the LDS church. Since the church's Boy Scout program gives troop and post leadership only to the boy-leaders in the LDS Aaronic Priesthood, this discriminates against African-American Boy Scouts, who are denied priesthood ordination by LDS policy. LDS Scout policy changes within months, and the lingering discrimination question becomes moot in four years.
