Parents have expressed anger after President Donald Trump delivered a highly politicised speech to tens of thousands of boy scouts.
Mr Trump started by saying: "Who the hell wants to speak about politics?"
But his speech to the Jamboree in West Virginia railed against Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and the "cesspool" of politics, drawing whoops and cheers.
One parent wrote: "Done with scouts after you felt the need to have my kid listen to a liar stroke his ego."
The Jamboree of the Boy Scouts of America is held every four years and drew about 35,000 scouts from the ages of 12 to 18 to the latest event, held in Beaver, West Virginia, on Monday evening.
The Jamboree had issued a warning on its blog about being respectful.
It read: "Chants of certain phrases heard during the campaign (e.g. 'build the wall', 'lock her up') are considered divisive by many members of our audience, and may cause unnecessary friction."
But in a rambling 35-minute speech, Mr Trump whipped up a response of boos, cheers, chants and jeers as he lambasted fake news, Hillary Clinton's election campaign and President Obama's failure to address a Jamboree in person.

... parents of boys in his troop get so angry when their scout is forced to hear a speech from the President ...
Compass, Broken; 1 each.
Once upon a time this was a useful instrument for pointing the direction a boy should go.
Today, not so much - as the needle has fallen off and rendered the tool into a directionally errant piece of plastic memorabilia.
Osu?
From the reaction of the crowd these complaining parents must be a tiny minority.

Ok, let’s see. There were 35,000 Scouts there and assuming at least ONE adult for each Scout also attended that would make about 52,000 in attendance.
The Liberal Loons managed to find ONE parent who was willing to whine?
Are these Scouts or snowflakes? One suspects that the Leftist media has its panties in a twist once again.
my thoughts exactly....they’re ok with homosexual leaders but not a speech??
One less sexually confused snowflake in the Boy Scouts..., perhaps he can join the Girl Scouts or the Campfire Girls...
Then there’s this:

Seems like a lot of the scouts liked it despite their parents. No different than what dems do. Actually not as bad as the dems would do or have done. “A better deal.”

Hey dummy, what lie? Why don’t you leftist scum ever give examples?
I am astonished that these snowflake parents even allowed their wussified sons to apply to the Boy Scouts.
I wish he hadn’t used the word “hell”.
I heard the Scouts boo Obama regarding him not bother to show up at either of the two Jamboree’s when he was President.
Does it anger these parents that Obama doesn’t support their Scouts.
I say good riddance. Liberals have done enough to damage the Scouts.
“Hey dummy, what lie? Why dont you leftist scum ever give examples?”
They only know how to call names. Reasoned arguments or debate are beyond their mental capabilities.
And who even knows if the person was really a parent? I just skimmed the article tbh, but are they talking about someone claiming to be a parent who wrote a comment on a blog???
lol
okay. Sounds legit. Lets go write an article with a headline blaring “PARENTS UPSET”
Now these a-hole parents know what the rest of us feel like that our children are required to listen to leftist politics from teachers in public schools — very often with no recourse.
Ah hell! That's nothin'!
