Since joining Trail Life, I've gotten to know Mark and many others in the organization. You can't ask for a better group to be on the front lines of the culture war against our youth. Trail Life USA and American Heritage Girls are both dedicated to promoting traditional and lifelong values in a strong unapologetic Christian environment. Sadly, these values have been squandered by the executive leadership of BSA and earlier GSA.

I was reminded of this quote by the late columnist Charley Reese. He wrote it about Clinton era health care policy but it is appropriate for many things progressives clamor for.

“There’s no dishonor in being forced by a superior power into slavery, but it is an eternal disgrace to voluntarily surrender one’s liberty for a filthy bowl of oatmeal and a promise of security by liars.”

Established in 1910, the Boy Scouts have long stood on tradition
Like welcoming queers? That's not tradition, that's an abomination.

If the boy scouts admit girls, then what’s the point?

Shouldn’t they change their name to Youth Group USA, or something generic along those lines? If they abandon the core idea that this organization is for boys and young men, then what is the reason for being?

Will big numbers of girls want to join?

The Girl Scouts has turned into a far Left organization. The Trojan Horse of admitting girls into Boy Scouts will seek to transform the values of the Boy Scouts.

We already have a co-ed youth organization. It is Camp Fire, which was originally Camp Fire Girls.

Like everything else, they’ll be known as the Gender Neutral Scouts.

It’s more than just a “war on boys”.

It’s a leftist, socialist, homosexual, lesbian, and pedophile feeding frenzy.

This assault on kids needs to stop NOW!

The Girl Scouts will welcome boys - if they dress as girls and go around saying the word “transitioning.”

Next up: Atheists - remove the belief in God.

The ultimate aim is to probably require boys and girls to enter scouts so they can be sexually abused by adults because that’s where society will have progressed too.

BSA like the GSA before it is diving headfirst into irrelevance. BSA can put whatever spin it wants on it, but its recent strategic decisions have caused it to lose members. This is an attempt to poach members from GSA to stay afloat. In the long run, it probably won’t work. The LDS, which has been hugely supportive of BSA has bailed in favor of their own programs. Christians have been migrating to American Heritage Girls and Trail Life USA in droves and this will further accelerate the trend.

In the end an organization has to have some unifying reason to exist. Once you’ve cast out that reason it’s not long before the organization goes the way of the dodo.

Trail life is a good organization. There are other choices, too.

Some of this TRANSGENDER and LGBT nonsense is hurting our children.

The CONSTITUTION says we much PROVIDE FOR THE COMMON DEFENSE

If we do not protect our children, then what?

As a substitute teacher I had a young child complain about he was afraid he was GAY. I believe this was FIRST GRADE or SECOND GRADE, but this is really bad.

Our schools in Louisiana are a BASKET CASE.

It is a sham. When I tried to be a 7th grade teacher, my principal gave me a class with basically 50 students.

But that was okay. This was a school where most students were extremely low socio-economic class

I had 11 SPED students as part of that. Normally there is a TA assigned for that.

I think that principal (just my conjecture) was trying to get back at men.

We need to address problems.

Mixing boys with girls is not a good idea.

At one time, schools were all boys or all girls.

The movie The Blackboard Jungle shows a school that is PUBLIC and all boys. Sidney Poitier has an interesting role in this Glen Ford/Anne Francis movie.

If adults cannot fix RACISM, then why should be mix boys and girls.

This is a recipe for disaster.

By the way, I sent an email (which I never heard back on) about my problems at Paul Breaux Middle School.

No response was ever given. I believe it has been over 2 years with no response. But I guess fixing problems is not anything is worried about as long as they get their paychecks.

As Vince Scully once said about an ADMIRAL who damaged the battleship USS MISSOURI: "You don't pay them the big bucks for nothing" or something to that effect. It was during a Los Angeles Dodgers game.

So maybe some people who have a great deal of responsibility should be fired if they are not doing their job.

The previous Superintendent of the Lafayette Parish School System was fired.

Our children apparently are UNIMPORTANT to some folks. They are more interested in POWER and MONEY than doing the right thing.

President Donald Trump has always done the right thing.

I have always tried to do the right thing, but there are too many COMMUNIST/IDIOTS/LIBERALS doing stuff.

When I worked on a DOD project back at GE, a female manager was betting on the stock market using INSIDE information.

She lost in her speculation.

SHE WAS MAD AT ME FOR TRYING TO WIN!

Another person there told me directly: Maybe the plan is to fail This was on a DOD Project.

GE no longer has business in that area. Lockheed Martin owns it.

Time to get off my soap box.

POLITICALLY CORRECTNESS is not as bad as DEFENSE CONTRACTORS stealing from the government.

Time to get off my soap box.
