1dalmYou should consider putting your kid in Scouts
Right after they capitulate to the fascists? No thanks. I’d want my children to learn some values worth respecting.
That was literally a nothing announcement. Virtually nothing actually changed about the program.
Literally one merit badge was removed and one elective merit badge was added. That’s it. And all of the requirements in that one removed merit badge are repeated in multiple other merit badges, and those other merit badges didn’t get charged at all.
I promise you. No one is checking kids birth certificates when they sign up and no child is being turned away from the program.
You are upset about literally nothing because an algorithm on the Internet told you this was something to be upset about.
You aren’t upset because you’re biased. When have the fascists ever gotten what they wanted and then stopped? You’ll make an excuse for each new capitulation.
So let’s back up.
What specific actual virtue of the Scouting America do you have a problem with?
Here’s the scout law to get you started:
A scout is: trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.
Which one of these virtues do you want your kids to have? (And for gawd sakes, please read something about what “reverence” means before knee-jerking to that one."
They can state having any stupid values that they want. But they capitulated to fascists. I don’t want to have stupid children that recite propaganda with no understanding of the world around them.
