OMG The Cub Scouts!

(Political Animal)  OMG Teh Cub Scouts!

It's bad enough that Barack Obama wants to teach your kids about sex the difference between appropriate and inappropriate touching, so that they can protect themselves against pedophiles. But, following up on a comment at the Washington Monthly, I see that the Cub Scouts do too.

They even offer a comic book on the subject, designed for use by Cub Scouts (ages 7-10; grades 1-5.) Here's the description:

"This 8-page comic is the third in a series of youth protection comics for Cub Scout aged kids featuring Akela, Baloo, and T.C. It illustrates scenarios that advise kids about the dangers of strangers and inappropriate behavior by adults toward children, and what to do in scary situations."

The horror!

I await John McCain's denunciation of scouting. Somehow, I think I'll be waiting for a long, long time.

(PS: You can see the cover on ObWi; I can't figure out how to put up images here.)
