In response to letter-writer Susie Mosca (who resigned from the Girls Scouts because of the organization's support of Black Lives Matter) — good riddance.
I agree with RetVet's comments above and add the following. It appears from your activity on Instagram Chloe, your social media savvy. Run a search on the Girl Scouts of America and Susie Mosca and educate yourself. I think you will find the attributes you admire in your tweets regarding woman are exemplified in Susie Mosca. A successful business owner, a mentor to young woman, a 25 year volunteer and involved in her community. No, I am not related...opinion based on available information. You wrote about the power love and respect in a letter earlier this year to the paper. Why don't you practice what you profess?
Before you get too judgmental, which you apparently have a fairly good measure of, maybe you should look a tab bit deeper into the Black Lives Matter organization. If you did, you’d find out they are not everything you think they are. Nor are their tenets in sync with most foundational youth organizations in America. Many of these organizations were founded on the very principles of the Bible and Judeo/ Christian beliefs. They are also strongly grounded in the family as the core of personal strength and integrity. Again, do a little research.
Here are a few facts that you may find enlightening about BLM:
1. BLM seeks to abolish traditional family values:
“We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement… When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking, or rather, the belief that all in the world are heterosexual…”
2. BLM seeks to cancel capitalism:
“[W]e have to disrupt the white supremacist, capitalistic, patriarchal, heteronormative system that is really the root cause of these police killings.”
3. BLM disallows anyone from transcending the superficial categories of race and color:
BLM yields to an inherently flawed Marxist paradigm that disallows the individual to prosper, grow, and transcend regardless of race, color, or circumstance. Instead, it seeks to confine all people, particularly minorities, to narrow, external categories of race and color to further its agenda.
4. BLM marginalizes many shared values of minorities and immigrant communities:
“The movement [BLM] infuses a syncretic blend of African and indigenous cultures’ spiritual practices and beliefs, embracing ancestor worship; Ifa-based ritual such as chanting, dancing, and summoning deities; and healing practices such as acupuncture, reiki, therapeutic massage, and plant medicine in much of its work, including protest.”
5. BLM is explicitly Marxist in orientation:
BLM’s founders, Alicia Garza, Patrisse Khan-Cullors, and Opal Tometi, openly admit to being Marxists. They draw almost exclusively from critical theory and its offshoot, critical race theory (CRT). Both theories are rooted in Marxist thought and have been a mainstay in left-wing academia for decades.
