CULTURE MATTERS
Observations by David Eaton
So now the Boy Scouts of America are no longer “The Boy Scouts.” More Woke perfidy, I dare say.
[Excerpt from Heather McDonald in The City Journal]
“Does it matter, then, that the Boy Scouts of America has now extirpated the last use of “boy” found in its entire portfolio—the “boy” in “Boy Scouts of America,” the name of the parent organization? It does. That the Boy Scouts cannot tolerate even an atavistic use of “boy” reveals how powerful the impulse is to efface males from our culture. The transformation of the Boy Scouts of America into Scouting America is an object lesson in the incapacity of traditional institutions to withstand progressive takeover.”
