The 'Girl Scouts have lost their way,' asserts faith-based alternative for young women--story by Maureen Mackey • 5h ago

The Girl Scouts USA (GSUSA), founded in 1912, has been in the spotlight this week — but not for its popular cookie sales.

An online form circulating on social media this week related to sleepaway camp reportedly asked parents of girls to specify if their kids go by masculine pronouns — and if they'd prefer "gender inclusive" sleeping arrangements for their children while the young ones are at camp.

The form, reportedly sent by a parent to the widely followed Twitter account End Wokeness, asked parents or caregivers to provide "basic camper information" regarding preferred pronouns, including "she/her," "they/them," "he/him" and "other."

A group that considers itself a faith-based alternative to the Girls Scouts spoke out on the topic.

Patti Garibay, founder and national executive director of American Heritage Girls, headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, told Fox News Digital on Wednesday afternoon, "Straying so far from the vision of its foundress, GSUSA has once again entangled itself in the ever-shifting winds of today's culture."

Added Garibay, "As Alexander Hamilton once said, 'Those who stand for nothing fall for everything.'"

Garibay said, "Is today's GSUSA the Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts — or something in between?"

She added that "so many alumnae have grieved that Girl Scouts have lost their way as they witness a true loss of a national treasure."

Garibay said she started American Heritage Girls "for this very reason." SEE MORE AT The 'Girl Scouts have lost their way,' asserts faith-based alternative for young women (msn.com)

JOHN COHEN -- A CLOSER LOOK AT BLACK LIVES MATTER'S BANKRUPTCY SHOWS RADICAL LEFTISTS STILL HAVE MILLIONS IN THEIR COFFERS

Even if Black Lives Matter Global Network were to go bankrupt, other well-off organizations at the heart of the BLM movement would live on.

JOHN COHEN--A number of headlines have been making the rounds declaring that Black Lives Matter is going bankrupt. These are misleading, not only because they conflate the Black Lives Matter Global Network (BLM GN) and the BLM movement, but also because BLM GN is not, in fact, on the verge of bankruptcy.

To a certain extent, the confusion is understandable. BLM GN is the most visible and well-known of the various BLM organizations, the one founded by movement figureheads Patrisse Cullors, Alicia Garza, and Opal “Ayo” Tometi. When the general public hears “BLM,” this is who they think of.  MORE AT A Closer Look At BLM's 'Bankruptcy' Shows It Still Has Millions (thefederalist.com)

ABOUT THAT AUDREY HALE MANIFESTO----THE PUBLIC'S RIGHT TO KNOW....

Should authorities "protect" the public from the thoughts of violent criminals? Do victims' families have a claim to suppress public records regarding assailants' deeds? These questions arise as some people seek to deter mass attacks by denying attention to perpetrators—especially in incidents that may involve controversies over ideology, culture, and policy. The debate over releasing the Covenant School shooter's manifesto is the most recent such example, and like all of them it should be resolved by acknowledging the public's right to know.

After the lethal March 27 shooting at the Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, police revealed that the attacker, Audrey Hale, left behind a written record of preliminaries to the crime.

A Blueprint or a Bust?

"In the collective writings by Hale found in her vehicle in the school parking lot, and others later found in the bedroom of her home, she documented, in journals, her planning over a period of months to commit mass murder at The Covenant School," Metropolitan Nashville police announced April 3. "The writings remain under careful review by the MNPD and the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit based in Quantico, Virginia. The motive for Hale's actions has not been established and remains under investigation by the Homicide Unit in consultation with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit. It is known that Hale considered the actions of other mass murderers."

Hale was killed by police responding to the crime, leaving the documents as the only record of what might have motivated a murder spree that left three children and three adults dead. And the public certainly had an interest in delving into yet another school attack, committed with always-controversial firearms, by a transgender individual (Hale was biologically female but had recently begun identifying as a man and using the name "Aiden."  MORE AT The Public Has a Right To See the Nashville Shooter’s Writings (reason.com)
