Gates should know like his military the organization will decline. You can’t cow tow to leftist perverts and expect to survive. They are out to kill you and if they can they will have you stab yourself out of fear first exactly as Robert Gates did to the military and as he is doing now to the scouts.
In this case due to be self-funded and voluntary nature of the boyscouts the organization will collapse when NAMBLA scout leaders start raping their scouts on camping trips. The left won’t defend the organization because it will still have so many other moral and individual values they detest.
Conservatives won’t defend it because it will be as pointless and spineless as Robert Gates himself, No parent will want their kids going off in the woods with them.
The BSA has been declining for years, and really, further changes to its policy will not help reverse the trend. IMHO, it’s all a question of whether he simply declares invalid the BSA charters for any church or organization that doesn’t go by his values.
As a point of reference, you claim none would defend it. What, if any, interest do you have in Scouting?
I tried...writing letters, emails, phone calls...spreading the word to other leaders and parents...to no avail.
PC has infected the BSA and there are many, even so called "conservatives" who vilified us right here at FR. The BSA is INFESTED with PC maggots and is even training leaders to be PC maggots via "diversity/inclusion" social marxism.
The BSA rec'd survey results showing ~2/3's of its membership rejected the membership policy change...a funny thing happened on the way to the convention.
2/3's of the delegates, those who purportedly "represented" their Councils, voted the other way to incorporate the change...
Now why do you think that was?
