The Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri sent an email and said members could not raise money that represents “partisan politics” and must “stay neutral.”

    I appreciate this level-headed take from someone knowledgeable on the topic. It’s very easy to get riled up over the issue in Gaza, and it’s important to discern where certain actions are sanctioned or not.

    That said, I suspect there were better ways to deescalate the issue on Girl Scouts’ end. Threatening litigation over a contentious humanitarian issue is begging for bad publicity. But, I’m not privy to the exchanges that brought it to that level.
