The Radical Left’s War on Little Girls ....................................................................... Flopping Aces ^ \| 02-14-15 \| Brother Bob It's never too early for any parent to instill their ignorance and prejudices into their children. Deciding that the civic values of the Girl Scouts1 weren't good enough for their girls, the "Radical Brownies of Oakland" have stepped up to form their own independent group dedicated to teaching girls their important values. Christin Ayers for KPIX in San Fran reports: After the recent Black Lives Matter protests, there is a new brownie troop in Oakland. Instead of selling cookies, they are spreading a message. On a Saturday afternoon in Oakland, a handful of 8 to 10 year old girls are gathered, in brown uniforms, giggling and eating cupcakes. They look like Girl Scouts, but it’s not just fun and games. These girls are called the “Radical Brownies.” And instead of learning sewing, they’re learning social justice. Even their uniforms have a message. “The beret, it’s a Black Panther/Brown Beret twist,” one of the Radical Brownies said. “I think it’s very appropriate. A lot of the work the Black Panthers did was community oriented,” Radical Brownies co-founder Marilyn Hollinquest told KPIX 5. It's tempting to dig into the Black Panthers angle, because what radical leftist wouldn't be proud if their child grew up to try to intimidate voters at the polls or murder police officers? The report goes on: The Radical Brownies have triggered an avalanche of criticism online, with some accusing the group of brainwashing. "We did strike a nerve. We definitely did strike a nerve,” Hollinquest said. But Hollinquest said they are not telling the girls what to think. “Kids already understand fairness and unfairness, so we take that understanding at an age-appropriate level,” she said. It's good to hear that they're not telling the girls what to think. So what are these girls actually saying? “White policeman are killing black young folks such as women, men and children,” one of the girls said. Forget the fact that you're far more likely to be shot by a criminal than a cop, let's teach the kids to hate the people who would be their only protection against criminals, since racist whites want citizens disarmed and helpless, as this girl would have put it, "because of his skin color." Another girl said, “Mike Brown. He was shot because he didn’t do nothing. Only the police officer shot him because of his skin color." Technically, this statement is correct. The double negative in "he didn't do nothing" could be interpreted as "He committed robbery while he was high and later tried to take a policeman's gun". Maybe working on badges in proper grammar and current events would be more useful? (Excerpt) Read more at floppingaces.net...
