Boy Scouts Accused of Sex Abuse Coverup

You can't just indict the Catholic Church for these things, since the sexualization of children is something that happens even within the apparently secure confines of children's television. We were long indoctrinated that there was no evil and that perpetrators were victims. Now it seems that there are quite a few people who don't want to recall that pedagogical mythos which attempted to demythologize morality and put something else in its place.

It also may cause many to entertain some other notions, like whether or not all of this might have been avoided if the mormon perp wasn't restricted to just one wife.

The Catholic Church always resisted this attempt to portray personal evil as a medievalism, and it seems we're reaping the harvest of sentimentalism without objective morality.

What no one is saying is that the morality that allows us to condemn those who would prey on adolescents and children, has been steadily undermined by entertainment and education for more than 100 years. Why, you can see it in the works of Voltaire and Moliere.

PORTLAND, Ore. - The Boy Scouts of America has long kept an extensive archive of secret documents that chronicle the sexual abuse of young boys by Scout leaders over the years.

The "perversion files," a nickname the Boy Scouts are said to have used for the documents, have rarely been seen by the public, but that could all change in the coming weeks in an Oregon courtroom.

The lawyer for a man who was molested in the 1980s by a Scout leader has obtained about 1,000 Boy Scouts sex files and is expected to release some of them at a trial that began Wednesday.

You don't have to have a finely tuned ethical sense to appreciate that the victimization of children is wrong, but despite that, media conglomerates like Disney still find it fairly easy to earn the trust of parents who allow their children to consume its vacuous and occasionally immoral fair.

But the Boy Scouts of America aren't the only ones who are having problems with this, but ABC and its parent company, Disney, which has done a great deal to sexualize children, considerably more than the 500,000,000 it is accusing the Catholic Church of being responsible for. Lurid toys, films and personalities are standard fare at Disney and its various subsidiaries who promote every moral depravity imagineable:



Can't imagine why anyone would manufacture much less purchase the abovedepicted "toy" for the age-group it's targeted for. It seems unlikely that even the most morally liberated mother would blanche a bit at having her daughter idolize the trappings of late sixties harlotry. No one really wants to be an object and no one should be encouraged to be one as this toy must certainly valorize the morally objectionable image of the "femme fatale".

This art-house film appraisal of Disney by Whit Stillman, seems to grasp the significance of Disney's pedagogical (if not pathological) hold on the sexual mores of children who later grow up to be sophisticated but unsatisfied and highly medicated adults.
