Former Girl Scout leader's child molestation sentence
A former Kennesaw Girl Scout leader is sentenced to prison for aggravated sexual battery and child molestation. A Cobb County jury found Allison Wean guilty on all counts Friday afternoon. The victim was a member of her Girl Scout troop.

I think it’s good for girls and boys to have their own spaces sometimes especially at younger ages.

It’s just typical double standards because sexism is unilateral according to Schrodinger’s feminist who is both a victim feminist and an empowered feminist. Once the box is open, she identifies with the most ideal manipulation tactic within the strict guidelines of virtue-signaled superior morality.

Agree, but

Try organizing two private classes for kids; name one “Coding for Girls,” and the other “Coding for Boys.”

Let us know how that turns out (although I think we all know the answer, if we are honest).

What used to be called “boy scouts of America” is now co-ed and has changed its name to Scouts-BSA.

Why then, can’t boys join Girl Scouts ?


TLR. Boy Scouts of America became coed for their own reasons, primarily for dropping participation numbers therefore they needed to open to girls to survive. Girl Scouts is not in that situation, and is a separate private organization, so is not pursuing that.

This idea that everything must be open to everyone is really ridiculous. Are you complaining that your neurotypical child can't compete in the Special Olympics? Why not? People with intellectual disabilities can participate in standard sports teams. Isn't it a double standard and exclusive? (Obviously I'm being sarcastic, but my point stands that not every thing is meant for everybody and that's okay).

This! They only allowed girls for financial reasons.

It's the same reason boy can't go to an all girls school.

This is so not an issue. No boy ever wanted to join Girl Scouts. If they identify as a girl, they can join. Easy.

Interesting thought experiment about how/whether enrollment would change if they called it Feminist Scouts or Female Empowering Scouts…..

Except that we’ve made sure boys don’t have their own spaces.

Therefore, neither should girls.

Both must now suffer for their parent’s agendas.

Too bad. This is about forced capitulation. And the GSA must be coerced into admitting boys, or be disbanded. Period.

The Boy Scouts only opened their org up to girls because they were losing members and they're trying to attract families who want their kids in the same org, not two different ones. Which is fine. There are still dens that are just boys.

Girls need places where they can just be girls and not have to have boys in the mix. They have to compete with boys all the time. Let them have something that is theirs. I'm fine with the boys having their own things too.

Boy Scouts of America are rebranding.

It will be called "Scouting America" starting on February 8, 2025 - the 115th anniversary of the organization.

"This announcement also comes as the organization celebrates the fifth anniversary of welcoming girls into Cub Scouting and Scouts BSA programs. Scouting America currently serves more than 176,000 girls and young women across all programs, including over 6,000 who have earned the rank of Eagle Scout. "

Only the Mormons have real, genuine Boy Scouting now. If that’s what your son wants, you will need to join a LDS church troop.

Nope. Not anymore. This cannot stand.

Well, those are certainly all words, placed next to each other.
