The overthrow of America by its own President...sad

           

Although the Boy Scouts of America have issued their "we are not a political body" statement, the cheering and support of this President was louder than the apology.  It reminded me of another leader and how a country was, little by little with no resistance from constituents, led down the same  path by someone who also demanded loyalty. For the parents of these young boys, are you familiar with history?  Boy Scouts of America...not anymore.

“As the Scout Law says: ‘A Scout is trustworthy, loyal’—we could use some more loyalty, I will tell you that,” Trump said, and paused there.

 

          

 

Shaping the Future: Indoctrinating Youth

“These boys and girls enter our organizations [at] ten years of age, and often for the first time get a little fresh air; after four years of the Young Folk they go on to the Hitler Youth, where we have them for another four years . . . And even if they are still not complete National Socialists, they go to Labor Service and are smoothed out there for another six, seven months . . . And whatever class consciousness or social status might still be left . . . the Wehrmacht [German armed forces] will take care of that.”
—Adolf Hitler (1938)

As someone whose mother was in a concentration camp for 2 years, the Boy Scout rally yesterday was alarming!
