Pedophiles May Be Bad, But Protecting Kids From Them Is Worse

The Cub Scouts, Obama and all sane people agree....



But John McCain, as ammoral a man as any Bush family member, would prefer you not know this.



Hilzoy:

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.

This is the cover of an eight page comic book put out by the Boy Scouts of America, and 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.
