Girl Scout Employee asked to hide Pro-Life T-shirt message, resigns
“An Arizona college student quit her job with the Girl Scouts after being asked to turn her pro-life t-shirt inside out because of its message,” reports the Christian Post, ”an incident not shocking to a previous member of the organization.
“I believe unfortunate situations like this will continue to arise, especially as people discover the truth about Girl Scouts’ values,” said Sydney Volanski, a former Girl Scouts member who left due to the organization’s pro-choice stance. “I can see a cycle forming: as more people know the truth, more people stand for their beliefs and get criticized; as more people get criticized, more people know the truth.”
The incident involved Renise Rodriguez, a 21-year-old Girl Experience Associate for the Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona in Tuscon. She was wearing a “Pray to End Abortion” shirt when she went into the office during off-duty hours to prepare materials for a meeting. It was there that she was told twice by a supervisor to turn her shirt inside out if she planned to stay in the office or attend a troop meeting, according to Priests for Life.
“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,” the religious studies major shared. “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 thinking about what happened during the rest of the day, Rodriguez decided to write a letter of resignation the next day, not specifying what happened.
She planned to discuss with another supervisor the reason for his resignation during her formal exit interview.
Debbie Rich, CEO of Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona, has tried to spin the story as one of lack of understanding and lost opportunity on Rodriguez’s part:
“We are disappointed that she would rather quit this opportunity to be a role model to these young girls from her troops, than to adopt the Girl Scouts’ dress code to not wear shirts with political, social or commercial messages. Our council is saddened by this decision and hope that she will reconsider.”
On the contrary, Miss Rodriguez is a shining example to those young women of how not to be bullied by agenda-driven corporate management, and also how to resign from a compromised position as soon as you find out its rules and values are stacked against Christian morality.
“As a troop member, I was never told that I couldn’t wear shirts with a political, social, or commercial message, and neither was my mother, a leader,” Volanski shared. “This is not a question of adopting dress code. This is a question of standing up for one’s beliefs. It is that that shows Ms. Rodriguez to be a strong woman of honesty and courage.”
In 1995, a group of concerned Christians left the Girl Scouts in protest over its pro-choice agenda. The started a rival organization American Heritage Girls which upholds conservative Christian values. Those interested in leaving the Girl Scouts over its agenda may wish to review this organization, search for others like it, or start your own.

With groups like this, it's hard to know if they objected to the Prayer part or the Baby Killing part (or both)…
Specifically, just what IS the Girl Scouts standing ‘for’ these days? Sounds like morality and good are ‘out and into the campfire’. What a shame.
they are now slowly teaching gay and lesbian life style and sexual information as a every day deal as normal activity to the girl scouts, the hidden agenda has hit the light now ! they have been indoctornating our kids to these life style little at a time and the parents have no clue what goes on in those troops when they are dropped of. Fight the hiden agenda and pull your kids out of the pit of lies.
It looks as if evil is prevaling. Now its in the Girl Scouts and growing. Sad, very sad. What's really sad is that our own Americans are allowing themselves to go along with evil and not just saying, no, enough is enough. Have we forgotten who we are and why we are? We are Gods children. God was the one that gave us this land called America…why? Because we use to obey him and love him. We have GOT to get back with God and get down on our knees to him…pray for forgiveness, pray for help,PRAY, PRAY, PRAY and start obeying his 10 Commandments.
The Commies have left no stone unturned in their quest to destroy Christianity in America! ~ Using Karl Marx's methodology of "Gradualism", like an unnoticed cancer, they have infiltrated most venues of public education and national media information sources along with organizations that are a threat to their Satanic ideology!
Bottom Line: NOW that we have been awakened to their stealthy treachery…WILL WE ALLOW them to CONTINUE to destroy our country's Christian foundation along with our American way of life?!
THE ANSWER: ***RON PAUL~THE NEW SPIRIT OF 76***
Standing for everything and trying to avoid offending one offends us all now. This premise is so bassakwards as to be insulting and shameful.
It is Debbie Rich who should be resigning. I have warned my kids about this so they will find alternatives for their girls. It is no longer an organization to be proud of. I was a den Mother & my husband was the Scout Master when our boys were growing up. It is terrible that these organizations that used to teach good ethics & morals, now deplore them.
Sorry but don't confuse Girl Scouts with Boy Scouts. BSA took their case all the way to SCOTUS that you are required to believe in a higher being. AND THEY WON. Also, BSA will not allow homos in positions of leadership. They took that case all the way to SCOTUS and they WON. BSA is still a good organization. My wife and I left Girl Scouts years ago when they folded on the requirement to believe in a higher being.
Wake up pull your kids out before they brain wash them
The pervert have taken over.
Tucson? Why am I not surprised; this is the same city just north of Mexico, that has many people calling for secession from the US, re-integration with Mexico and re-labeling it "Nuevo Mexico". Really! We're not talking conservative Phoenix and Sheriff Joe Arpaio here.
Look folks, this intolerance for America and what it stands for is being taught in the classroom, Girl Scouts, etc. Why is everyone so surprised to read about it? PC was created as a way of making people step in line and also mostly to silence and label those who question these man-made, socially engineered monkey laws. It's deliberate indoctrination of the young because they will one day be adults. Like President Abraham Lincoln said "The children of the classroom today are the leaders of tomorrow". And were just letting them get away with it instead of getting in their face and making THEM back down!
If she'd have worn a pro-choice shirt, you fundies would be screaming for her head. The hypocrisy is mind-blowing.
and speaking of … grown adults seem to understand protocol. Wearing politically charged clothing to work is ridiculously inappropriate. But it does serve to cultivate a culture of Xtian prosecution!
>> Also, BSA will not allow homos in positions of leadership. <<
And you wonder why you people are the laughingstock of Western Civilization.
"HOMOS?"
Oy. Give me a gay person over a deranged, self-aggrandizing, uneducated wingnut fundy ANY day.
