I do declare!
The national Girls Scouts of America have invited “pro-abortion, pro-lesbian” speakers to their national convention. The Concerned Women for America are, well, concerned.
Some years ago, the Girls Scouts began purging materials of positive references to homemakers. Instead of being family-centered, the group now promotes “girl empowerment,” with programs that focus heavily on a narcissistic devotion to self, but then steered into collective action for liberal causes, such as environmentalism.
The last thing we want in America is little girls… RECYCLING!
The CWA is most concerned about the speakers that have been invited to the convention, one Dr. Johnnetta Cole, a woman with absolutely amazing credentials, mentorship, and leadership skills including fifty honorary degrees, and one Kavita Ramdas, president and CEO of the Global Fund for Women, “which, among other things, promotes abortion and feminism.”
Ramdas has been pegged dangerous for her advocacy of women’s reproductive rights and sexual health. Dr. Cole has become a target because of a talk titled The Power of Diversity, in which she (I’m not kidding) “used the word ‘power or powerful’ 10 times.”
As far as I know, the Girls Scouts were never primarily about homemaking skills, but who needs self-esteem when you can score yourself a nice husband? Who worships the patriarchy? Cootchie-coo.
