Greetings good citizen, today's NY Times ran a tale of a cub scout:
How hard did an 11 Y.O. press is difficult to quantify but is throwing him out of the program the 'appropriate action'?
[Again, my NY Times subscription is limited to ten articles a month so I didn't read the whole story but we're talking cub scouts here...wtf?]
Um, googling the story produced this video
Not for the last time will I ask 'where are the adults'? [Are the parents of these children still children themselves?] Worse, this is precisely what you get when you run 'popularity contests' to fill important political posts!
You KNOW this state senator tracked down somebody connected with this non-profit organization charged with providing youths an experience that teaches them the value of truth, equality and teamwork...and that knot-head had the kid booted from the organization!
Slip your 'R' hat on for a moment and look at it through their eyes...Kids don't ask questions like that, the mother must have told him what to ask and the cub scouts is no place to be raising such 'politically charged' topics.
If not us, who and if not now, when?
Let's suppose the kid DIDN'T think up these questions on is own, is the 'local council' justified in expelling him for asking pointed questions?
Were they trying to teach the parents a lesson by booting their kid from the organization?
IF the parents were of a mind, the ACLU would [and should be] be all over this case. Letting it go DOES NOT mean it's over. The pinheads who ban 11 years-old boy from children organizations will mark this kid for LIFE.
Like the Robber Barons, not prosecuting them is a mistake of the most grievous kind! [Because that poor kid is a 'marked man'.]
Letting this go does not insure the dust will settle and everybody will pretend it never happened, the kind of minds that would expel the kid from their organization are the type of predators unfit to be guiding anyone's children!
But the single factor keeps growing and it's the same shameful reason Wal-Marts everywhere are perpetually understaffed [because nobody under 50 can pass a pee test! Not that many OVER 50 could either.]
Apparently you DON'T have to pee in a cup to become a scout leader [or pass an IQ test for that matter!]
The temptation is, once again, to ask how you feel about living in a society RUN BY STUPID PEOPLE?
Seriously good citizen it is our REPEATED FAILURE TO 'RAISE THE BAR' that is driving civilization off a cliff.
In order to hold a 'position of authority' [starting with crossing guard] you MUST BE prepared to PROVE you are competent! We all slip up every once in a while, the difference is the single factor never realizes it on their own...
Was this cub scout thing 'mishandled'? You bet it was and it was mishandled by the type that was raised to think in terms of 'what are THEY going to do about it?'
My way or the highway is also an express ticket to exile [the revocation of your membership in society itself.] If YOU can't compromise it proves you are unfit to be a member of a cooperative organization...it's the 'serve in Heaven/rule in hell' thing.
I'd spell it out for you but I promised I'd stop 'dumbing it down' because the single factor are INCAPABLE of following me [regardless of how carefully I spell it out for them.]
The bigger picture here is what this teaches our youth...question 'authority' and be cast out?
It is a message that has been writ large across our society since the 60's [conform or be cast out...right next to comply or die.]
The dilemma this presents is apparent. Some people [raised to believe they are 'better' than the rest of us] persist in running roughshod over the values of equality and justice because it's 'their way or the highway'.
Those people need to be expelled because they don't value 'membership', all they care about is THEMSELVES and what THEY want.
The pronoun 'US' isn't part of their vocabulary because they never think in those terms.
This is how we get situations like this. What needs to be done is to track down WHO precisely did this senator complain to and to crucify everybody [including the senator] for their part in this CRIME. [Abuse of civic responsibility.]
Don't think that's a crime? How do you think we landed here?
Thanks once again for opening your mind,

How are our children EVER going to understand ANYTHING if the jerks running things will stop at nothing to silence them?
Cub Scout Is Exiled After Pressing Legislator on Guns and Race
By CHRISTINE HAUSER
Ames Mayfield, 11, was removed from his den after asking State Senator Vicki Marble of Colorado about gun control and her comments on race. He joined another den.
How hard did an 11 Y.O. press is difficult to quantify but is throwing him out of the program the 'appropriate action'?
