Thin Mint Morality Wars: The Girl Scout Cookie Boycott

The Girl Scout Cookie boycott, organized to protest the admission of a trans girl to a Colorado troop, was allegedly conceived by a fourteen-year-old girl, but my guess is that she's getting her faulty information from somewhere above (and I don't mean heaven – I mean an adult).

[...]

In this case, however, the boycott involves more than just a multimillion-dollar organization receiving some kind of "message" from the morality police. It involves little children who were not involved in the Colorado troop's decision (which was the right one, by the way). It involves little children who approach their friends and neighbors, or who set up shop outside of grocery stores, or who send their mom or dad to work with an order sheet and then thrill to the long list of pur->-bleeped-<-s at the end of the day.
