After threatening to sever ties with Scouting America and kick the youth group off military bases worldwide, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Friday gave a six-month reprieve to the organization formerly known as the Boy Scouts of America.

Hegseth made the announcement in a video posted to X, framing it as an ultimatum to Scouting to conform to the Trump administration’s anti-DEI agenda. He detailed his many criticisms of the group, saying Scouts had “lost their way” by changing the organization’s name and “watering down” what he called “the focus on God as the ruler of the universe.”

He accused the Scouts of promoting “an insidious, radical, woke ideology that is anti-America and anti-American.”

    Yes. And my point was that it doesn’t mean anything to the people that want the entire government to be privately held

    Good talk!
