Actually, I'm pulling for #ScoutingAmerica to refuse to bow to the Pentagon's bullying. Cuz it'd be a good thing for #Scouting to lose its relationship w/the military. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2026/2/3/2367010/news/pentagon-to-scout-troops-kick-out-girls-and-get-with-god/ I know when I was a scout, I looked forward to cool stuff like camping out for 2 whole wks with my friends & also strangers who'd become new friends, not marching for #ChristoNationalism. 3

Now Scouting's under threat by #Hegseth's white Christian Nationalism, ordered to revert to its old exclusionary ways or else. https://truthout.org/articles/pentagon-tells-scouts-to-end-inclusive-policies-or-lose-military-partnerships/ Guess he's got a prob w/ #ScoutingAmerica's wholesome objectives* & now wants it to be a de facto Hitler Youth group. ___ *Scouting America says it aims to bring together youth of every race, religion, gender, ethnic background & economic status: "We teach youth members...to respect those whose beliefs differ from their own." Uh-oh. DEI target.
