Rep. Bob Morris: Girl Scouts have ‘radical policies’

Members of the Republic Caucus

Dear Fellow Representatives:

This past week I was asked to sign a House Resolution recognizing the 100th Anniversary of Girl Scouts of America. After talking to some well-informed constituents, I did a small amount of web-based research, and what I found is disturbing. The Girl Scouts of America and their worldwide partner, World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS), have entered into a close strategic affiliation with Planned Parenthood. You will not find evidence of this on the GSA/WAGGGS website—in fact, the websites of these two organizations explicitly deny funding Planned Parenthood.

----------------------
A Girl Scouts of America training program last year used the Planned Parenthood sex education pamphlet “Happy, Healthy, and Hot.” The pamphlet instructs young girls not to think of sex as “just about vaginal or anal intercourse.” “There is no right or wrong way to have sex. Just have fun, explore and be yourself!” it states. Although individual Girl Scout troops are not forced to follow this curriculum, many do. Liberal progressive troop-leaders will indoctrinate the girls in their troop according to the principles of Planned Parenthood, making Bishop Conley’s warning true.
-----------------------

Many parents are abandoning the Girl Scouts because they promote homosexual lifestyles. In fact, the Girl Scouts education seminar girls are directed to study the example of role models. Of the fifty role models listed, only three have a briefly-mentioned religious background – all the rest are feminists, lesbians, or Communists. World Net Daily, in a May 2009 article, states that Girl Scout Troops are no longer allowed to pray or sing traditional Christmas Carols.

-----------------------

Boys who decide to claim a “transgender” or cross-dressing life-style are permitted to become a member of a Girl Scout troop, performing crafts with the girls and participate in overnight and camping activities – just like any real girl. The fact that the Honorary President of Girl Scouts of America is Michelle Obama, and the Obama’s are radically pro-abortion and vigorously support the agenda of Planned Parenthood, should give each of us reason to pause before our individual or collective endorsement of the organization.

This is from "Happy, Healthy and Hot"
?"Happy, Healthy and Hot
is a guide for young people living with HIV to help them understand their sexual rights, and live healthy, fun, happy and sexually fulfilling lives. The guide aims to give information on how young people living with HIV can increase sexual pleasure, take care of their health,practice safer sex, have children, develop strong intimate relationships and access support."

1. Umm, OK?

Did you have some commentary you want to make about this, or were you just posting it so everyone could see it, or what? Without any comments on your part it looks a lot like an FYI kind of post, which would imply endorsement of some sort of the contents. Surely that cannot be the case. Right?

2. Why would an FYI post imply endorsement?

Seems like a silly assumption.

3. My intent is to show the next Republican attempt in trying to win this election by culture division.

Just putting the info out there. Discuss it if you want.

5. Fair enough

I didn't mean to come across as combative, I just didn't really understand what you were passing this article on for, since you offered no commentary of your own.

7. Disgusting, but the HATE MACHINE WILL DO ANYTHING TO DISCREDIT "THE OTHER".

I was a girl scout and learned many important life skills. Did not go into sex education. I got that in college in the 60's. But, pre teens and young teens are learning about sex earlier. They either learn the facts under the supervision of responsible adults or they get misinformed/uninformed by their peers. There is nothing more ridiculous or delusional than to leave sex ed to the kids to learn on their own.
I was in a mall today, and there was display of girl scout cookies for sale. A young woman with three babies was mouthing off, saying that the girl scouts were working with PP to provide sex ed for girls and advocating abortion. I was flabbergasted and another companion who is a SCOUT LEADER and volunteer for years, listened patiently and said nothing. We both said, it wasn't worth it, to counter the woman's claims. She was only within our hearing and we knew better. And she would not have listened anyway.
This kind of ignorance drives me crazy at times. It is so wrong for the RIGHT to target any group as the "enemy" no matter how much harm. It is all about political power and hate. It is pathetic, but HATE WORKS for some.
