GIRL SCOUTS UPDATE: Yep, still leftist.
Last month, Breitbart News reported that Ackley—the main media spokesman for the Scouts—was also the lead singer of a “homopunk” band, The Dead Betties, who made several controversial videos, including one where a woman is strangled and another where a young man writhes naked on the ground and appears to touch his genitals. . . .
Within a few days of the story breaking, the Girl Scouts scrubbed Ackley from their media page, though the Scouts tweeted on December 19 that he was still around: “We’re happy to clear this up for you. Not only is Josh Ackley still employed, no one has been demoted.” . . .
The real story of the rolling Girl Scout scandal is their attachment to feminist politics, particularly their connection to Planned Parenthood, which is the largest single abortion provider in the United States. Breitbart’s Susan Berry has reported on these connections extensively.
So, it came as no surprise that the new Girl Scout media spokesman came from the Ms. Foundation, one of the preeminent abortion advocacy groups in the country. Until this past spring, Kelly Parisi was Vice President of Marketing and Communications at the foundation founded in 1973 by Gloria Steinham and now connected to the Feminist Majority Foundation that calls abortion “a matter of survival.”
