Since when did they Girl Scouts have to notify any of the members of who has been inducted into the group. Yes its for girls, however, if the parent of the transgender child is okay with their child being comfortable in who they really are, why should the child be judged by the Girl Scout members? At the end of the day I don’t think safety would be a big issue but not letting kids be comfortable in who they are can be a bigger issue. Most teens commit suicide because they feel like their are not accepted in the world in today’s society. Instead of just causing a big issue about this and have everyone think differently about Girl Scouts, why not keep the positive reputation of the group itself and create a group for transgender boys?
I could see how some girls would view it as “invading privacy” but at the same time nobody is thinking about the feelings of these kids. Something has to be done to accommodate problems like the one the Girl Scouts are facing right now. I don’t think its right for the transgender boys to just be kicked to the side or treated as if they do not belong. Lets not be judgement, in my opinion that’s one of the main problem people face today. Nobody wants to be judged for who their really are but yet its still being done. Who will stand up and say “its okay to be YOU, you are still a human being”.
The Girl Scout states, “On my honor, I will try: To serve God and my country, To help people at all times, And to live by the Girl Scout Law”. Where is the “help” in this situation? The Law itself clearly says, “I will do my best to be honest and fair, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong, and responsible for what I say and do, and to respect myself and others, respect authority, use resources wisely, make the world a better place, and be a sister to every Girl Scout”. Are the “angry” Girl Scouts respecting others? Are they trying to make the world a better place but increasing the chances of low self esteem, judgement, and transgender kids being afraid to be who they really are?
To me the boycott don’t make sense because the Girl Scouts will still be making money. As she said “every $5 donation, is equivalent to selling 8 to 13 boxes of cookies”. Boycotting Girl Scout cookies is a way of “punishing” GSUSA, however, what would that solve? Should the members add to the problem or try to find a way to make things better? Dont get me wrong, she proves her points very well but my question remains the same.

Counterintuitivity 
Tikeena, I don’t know if you would recognize the obvious typographical and punctuation errors in your post if you did a careful proofreading looking for them. Either way, their presence is fatal to your grade. If they’re just sloppy, they indicate disinterest in your own work. If they’re here because you don’t recognize them as wrong, you have a few weeks to start recognizing and avoiding them. If they appear in your portfolio, it and you will fail.

FAILS FOR GRAMMAR REPEATEDLY.
Go to Grammar Basics (always available in the sidebar) for help finding the fatal errors. Not every error you make is covered in this short post. Fix the errors to reveal your true grade and this note will disappear. 🙂

I agree with you, I know my grammar is something I need to work on! I will take advantage of the link you provided me with so failing the class will not be a option.

Thank you very much, Tikeena. I regret that we cannot devote class time to grammar instruction. (If you had been in my Comp 1 class, you wouldn’t be making these mistakes now! 🙂 ) Please don’t wonder if what you’re doing is right. Just ask. I’ll gladly answer any questions you have.
When your grammar is corrected, I’ll do another round of feedback on the content and structure of your essay. Deal? You deserve the instruction and I will not deprive you of it. But first, you need to clear away the distractions of the punctuation and grammar.
One more thing: you missed your Grade Conference this afternoon. Choose a time for Thursday, please, and add it to the Google Doc. Thanks.
