My children and I were in BSA and Indian Guides from the YMCA here in California.

Always attacked by white liberals and “native americans” that having tribes and dressing up as tribes was racist.

I was a member of the Young Men's Christian Association's Indian Guides, the Cub Scouts and then the Boy Scouts, where I reached the rank of Life--one rank below Eagle.

When it comes to building character and socialization, these organizations were invaluable. Sadly, the Indian Guides was destroyed by political correctness. Naturally, it was "racist," despite the fact that it taught respect for American Indians and their cultures and that it engaged in projects such as toy drives for needy Indians living on reservations. Of course, it was also "sexist," since it only involved fathers and sons.

Some years ago, the YMCA decided to ditch the Indian Guides because of these PC concerns. and now the Boy Scouts have gone sodomite. I feel so fortunate to have experienced childhood before the PC nazis came on the scene.
