BSA has, of course, used the title Scouting for its magazine for adults in Scouting - Scouts, Cubs, Explorers (co-ed for decades), Sea Scouts (co-ed for years) - for generations. THus, BSA has used "Scouting"" in connection withmagazine for a co-ed program without objection by GSA for many years, precluding a valid claim of intellectual property inflincement.

I am using BLM representatives' language, although you are cortrect that it is "loaded." But if unpleasant but relevant reality is not allowed, I will certianly desist from posting it. Private forum. Your rules. "The Chicago Black Lives Matter organizer who justified looting as ''reparation' has doubled down — insisting this week that even calling someone a criminal is 'based on racism.' Ariel Atkins told WBEZ that her group [Black LIves Matter Chicago] '100 percent' supports the violent looters who trashed chunks of the Windy City Monday, again repeating her claim that it is 'reparations.' 'The whole idea of criminality is based on racism anyway,' she told the NPR station. 'Because criminality is punishing people for things that they have needed to do to survive or just the way that society has affected them with white supremacist BS,' she said. 'I will support the looters till the end of the day. If that’s what they need to do in order to eat, then that’s what you’ve got to do to eat,' she said of those who even tried to smash their way into a Ronald McDonald House caring for sick children and their families. Atkins dismissed the idea that civil rights had 'ever gotten wins' from 'peaceful protests.' 'Winning has come through revolts. Winning has come through riots,”'she said.."

Thank you. You are FAR more responsive than Spectrum or the FCC. Merry Christmas and a Happier 2021 for all here and in Scouting.

Sings. Sings. No "edit."

And yet, the Ohio State football team lines up, holds hands, and sings the Alma Mater with the fans after every game. And, as pros, they tell you they are from "The Ohio State University." Then theres: We won't even mention A&M.

For units, right? When I was Scout, it applied to all of BSa Scouting.

Perhaps because Black Lives Matter is an avoidly Marxlist political organization that advocates abolition of law enforcement, criminal laws, courts, and places of incarceration, at least for "persons of color, on the grounds that the concept of "crime" as applied to such persons is inherently racist. Black Lives Matters has the Motto "ACAB" = all cops are bastar_s. So BSA is walking back its original "virtue" signal.

We should welcome the expression of all points-of-view., whether we agree with them or emphatically do not.

"edavignonScoutbook User Advisory Council Jun 24 The BSA does not monitor these forums. The moderators are volunteer members of the SUAC who spend considerably more than 1 hour per week (many more than 1 hour per day) helping users."

I never said they were good at it. 😄 That's the really big problem.

It probably will be when it is noticed. It does not 100% support the "narrative."

It also addressed the system being "rigged." It also discusses family structure as a cause of crime - a legitimate sociologic topic discussed in "Black cutkture" courses in universities - taugh by Black professors. In the video, Morgan Freeeman, asks why relegate Black history to one month.

OK, I see the banned video addresses, among othe thing, stereotyping of Black males. That was a topic Dr. King addressed many times and is a classic "social justice" issue. It is "prejudice" per se, although opinions differ on why it takes place. omedian So the video is not all one way.

This is a private forum, not the government - or even "public.". Censorshoip and discrimination does not violate "civil rights."

I woild have liked to see the video to understand your comments.. Which "millionaires"?

Likely, BSA has no more idea what they mean by "intersectionality" than it knows the difference between the Marxist, anti-capitalism, abolish the police , laws, jails, and courts political party Black Lives Matter and the concept that "black lives matter." It just sounds "woke. to folks in a panic to seem "woke."

"(CNN)In a statement released in support of Black Lives Matter, the Boy Scouts of America said it will require Eagle Scouts to earn a diversity and inclusion badge. It'll examine its own role in perpetuating racism, too. The organization, which also condemned the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor, said it "has not been as brave as we should have been" when it comes to calling out racism. "The Boy Scouts of America stands with Black families and the Black community because we believe that Black Lives Matter," the organization said in a letter on Scoutingwire, the organization's official blog. "This is not a political issue; it is a human rights issue and one we all have a duty to address." Now, scouts must earn a diversity and inclusion merit badge to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest rank in the Boy Scouts program. The new badge will build on existing programs that require scouts to "engage with other groups and cultures." https://youtu.be/Pyhy4IvkENg

"Your replies have been merged." What if I don;t want them "merged"?

So long as they are "different" in a policitcally correct way? I propose that one be polite to everyone. IS he or she "one"? Be polite. No mpore "education" required. Of course that;s naive. It's impolite to shake hands or eat with the left hand to a traditional Muslim., or to look at their daughter's bare ankles. Being reprectful turns out to be darned hard in a homogenious society. I have an Ohio American Flag license plate and my car got keyed with a lrge "PIG" Wednesday in a parking lot. Perhaps I made someone feel unsafe. I shudder to think a sticker supprting my son who's a State cop would bring. After all, "ACAB." No "edit" link.

"We are Marxists" If we don't get what we want, "burn it down."

Someone lied 20,000 times in four years., "Moderator." Are you thinking of Kevin Trudeau? He's still in prison.

And Texas bordered The New Mexiso Territory and the Indian Territory - of th United States. A minority of their border was with Arkansas and Louisiana., and Texas left BEFORE Arkansas. "DECLARATION OF CAUSES: February 2, 1861 A declaration of the causes which impel the State of Texas to secede from the Federal Union. ... She was received as a commonwealth holding, maintaining and protecting the institution known as negro slavery--the servitude of the African to the white race within her limits--a relation that had existed from the first settlement of her wilderness by the white race, and which her people intended should exist in all future time. Her institutions and geographical position established the strongest ties between her and other slave-holding States of the confederacy. Those ties have been strengthened by association. But what has been the course of the government of the United States, and of the people and authorities of the non-slave-holding States, since our connection with them? The controlling majority of the Federal Government, under various pretences and disguises, has so administered the same as to exclude the citizens of the Southern States, unless under odious and unconstitutional restrictions, from all the immense territory owned in common by all the States on the Pacific Ocean, for the avowed purpose of acquiring sufficient power in the common government to use it as a means of destroying the institutions of Texas and her sister slave-holding States. By the disloyalty of the Northern States and their citizens and the imbecility of the Federal Government, infamous combinations of incendiaries and outlaws have been permitted in those States and the common territory of Kansas to trample upon the federal laws, to war upon the lives and property of Southern citizens in that territory, and finally, by violence and mob law, to usurp the possession of the same as exclusively the property of the Northern States."

I am listening to SBLM. And some of their goals are fine. But far more than one is abhorent. I would be happy toilist them.

Actually, it's reality. Anyone could quoite pages and pages of statements by every rebel state and every Coinfederate cabinet member that it was all about slavery. Anyone who can use Goiogle can find them. My Grandmother was National Commander of the Daughters of the Confederacy and National Chairperson of the drive to raise funds to buld a Jefferson Davis Monumnent nto match the Washington Monument (in Davis' home town in Kentucky - the lesser monument actually built still stands)., so I heard THAT side over and over. But I also read the contemporary newspapers and books written by rebel leaders. "Our doctrine is this: WE ARE FIGHTING FOR INDEPENDENCE THAT OUR GREAT AND NECESSARY DOMESTIC INSTITUTION OF SLAVERY SHALL BE PRESERVED, and for the preservation of other institutions of which slavery is the groundwork."

Mostly Republicans with white hair - "old White men."
