An Inclusive Litany

5/28/95

San Francisco Judge John Farrell has come under criticism for unethical behavior. His two sons are members of the Boy Scouts, and he often drives the troop on outings and has chaperoned them on hikes. Some of his fellow jurists have suggested he resign from the bench if he continues to associate with the group, which excludes homosexuals. Critics, including many judges, say jurists should not be associated with organizations that discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation.
