Teaching Bigotry to Youth

Posted by Bob Lord

Video-tc-130207-boy-scouts-thumbWideThis photo from todays' NY Times says it all. Think of what the parents (or Scout leaders) of these impressionable kids are teaching them. Gays are immoral. Gays aren't the same as "us." Gays are something less than we are. We shouldn't associate with gays.

Chances are that one or two of the boys in this photo happens to be gay. What mental anguish is being inflicted on him? 

Hopefully, at least a few of these kids will find teachers or other role models and reject the garbage they've been fed. Otherwise, we're looking at our next generation of bigots.
