The Death of Another American Institution

Why am I ever surprised when political correctness shreds another fabric of our society and stifles the creativity of our people for the sake of inclusion?

I happened on a news channel that began talking about the 115 year old Boy Scouts of America what is going to change the name of their organization so that everyone feels welcome.

Give me a break!

Why was the boy scouts created? Was it to make boys want to join and learn outdoor and other skills or to make girls want to join? As the organization grew it expanded worldwide and scouts can be seen in faraway places learning the same skills.

There are even girl scouts, brownie scouts, cub scouts and a host of other organizations that teach boys to be boys and girls to be girls.

Those skills are not meant to be demeaning but meant to equip our youth for adulthood. Some skills need to be learned by boys, others by girls and still other skills by both and some skills come with age and lots of practice.

Remember when there were gun safety classes in high school? Kids would bring in their own guns and learn safe handling skills and safe shooting practices. It was not until God and guns were banned from schools across our land that safety went out the window as well.

So what is to be gained by changing the name from Boy Scouts of America? Is the curriculum changing as well? Instead of instilling safety in everyday tasks are they going to eliminate those tasks and call it good?

When organizations such as the Boy Scouts are created, it’s with a purpose and there are rules. Not everyone is suited for every organization and bending the rules, changing the names or lowering the bar to suit them is acceptable or advisable.

The only constant in life is change, but change for the sake of watering down or brainwashing with distasteful or unsound doctrine is outright dangerous. It would be better to shut down the entire organization and let boys be boys and girls be girls again! – RTM

Clarification of Real Truckmaster Blogs For those who follow my blog posts on RTM blogs let me clarify and clear up some confusion. I write highlighting the inconsistencies and hypocrisy of the far-left's war on anything Trump. There are too many willing to argue without merit and I would be remiss attempting to argue against their ignorance, they have way too much experience. My writings are my personal opinion intended to be educational in nature, a bit humorous, satirical, while being informative providing food for thought, which is sorely lacking today. For those who find my posts offensive, I am truly sorry, you have the right NOT to read them as have many before you. I will not attempt to change your mind politically, but provide the opportunity to show something you may wish to consider, thereby illuminating prejudice and misinformation! - I am the Real Truckmaster!

  1. My grandson is a Boy Scout. My son is his troop leader. They are considering leaving the fold over this. How sad that the wokies got to them. Doesn’t speak well for our country. But then, our country doesn’t speak well for it’s citizens.
