Bigoted Boy Scouts of America: 4th layoffs & plummeting membership

[d***@aol.com]

It's a shame that the dinosaurs that run the BSA have hijacked it for
political purposes, just like the Republican party is run by nuts who
wouldn't know Conservatism if it bit them on the leg.

Loyalty to their employees? In America? HA!

These same morons whose fathers and grandfathers would have kept Blacks
and other minorities OUT have sure dug in their heels about keeping
Girls Gays and the Godless OUT.

The result? Membership is collapsing like a house of cards. Families
are ashamed to be associated with a bigoted organization like this.

What does all this have to do with teaching Scoutcraft? Nothing.

So as the BSA goes through its 4th downsizing, rightsizing, layoffs,
mass firings, the best and brightest leave to go elsewhere. Well,
unless you are a special "pal" and get hired back as a consultant at
twice your old salary. That's a different matter.

According to public records, the top dogs in the organization earn
hundreds of thousands of dollars, all while taking public handouts,
taxpayer supported subsidies from some of the very folk they keep out.

Merit badges for Hypocrisy? These captains of the Titanic will be
remembered 50 years from now as patronizing cowards who led by playing
to the basest motivations of their donors. HATE.

Pretty soon, the only person left employed will be the person who
changes the signs showing the membership tanking. Good riddance.

And having proven no one needs their ugliness, children suffer.

I'll bump this back across the pond. Those who stay silent are a
conspiracy of silence. Time to take back all organizations.

When you consider that a Pedophile could thrive working for the Boy
Scouts of America for 30 years, rising to a position where he drafted
the very child abuse policies that he broke in his personal life, it
makes you wonder how many Pedophiles, Bigots, Sexists and Perverts are
RUNNING the Boy Scouts of America...speaking sweet words with one side
of their mouth while abusing the very system they are there to
protect. The Boy Scouts like the Catholic Church is so corrupt it has
no right to condemn ANYONE for ANYTHING because they have done much
worse officially and as an institution.

Sad, you can't trust anything...much less those who hide their sins by
accusing others.



Boy Scouts Abuse Policy Crafted by Child Pornographer

A quick update:

Earlier today, I wrote about how Douglas S. Smith, program director
for the Boy Scouts of America has been caught sending out huge files
of child pornography – including images of children who may be boy
scouts themselves – all across America.

Well, now we find out that there’s another wrinkle. It turns out that
in his position as program director for the Boy Scouts of America, Mr.
Smith was in charge of writing rules to prevent boy scouts from being
sexually abused.

You see, over the decades, so many boy scouts had been abused by their
pack leaders that the Boy Scouts were forced by lawsuits in the 1990s
to overhaul their procedures for dealing with children. Now it appears
that the Boy Scouts actually hired a pedophile to protect children
from sexual abusers in the Boy Scouts organization!

When the person who’s supposed to solve a history of widespread abuse
in an organization is actually involved in the abuse himself, there’s
one word that best describes the crisis: Systemic. This isn’t about an
isolated incident. It’s about a culture of sexual abuse and corruption
in the Boy Scouts of America.

Some people say that it’s worth supporting the Boy Scouts in spite of
the organization’s sordid history of widespread sexual abuse. They say
that it’s worth supporting the Boy Scouts in spite of the
organization’s written practice of discriminating against secular
families and gay youths. They say that it’s worth supporting the Boy
Scouts in spite of the organization’s lax dependence upon a government
dole.

What do they think makes the support worth it? Moral values, they say.
Moral values! Think, parents, before you let your boys join the Boy
Scouts, and you leave your young boy to go out on a camping trip with
their so-called “leaders”. Don’t just listen to what the Boy Scouts of
America says about its programs. Pay attention to what the Boy Scouts
of America actually does.

The moral values taught by actions of the Boy Scouts of America are
especially dangerous for children: Blind obedience in authority,
sexual abuse, trafficking in sexual images of children, abuse of
power, corruption, discrimination against cultural minorities, and
lazy dependence on government welfare. The Boy Scouts of America seems
to think that those are traditional values. Well, there are some
traditions that we are better off without, thank you.

Hey, if you want to send your boy off to this pack of wolves, that’s
your business. Just don’t ask me to support them with my tax dollars,
please.
