Parents are indicating their displeasure with the Boy Scouts of America after President Donald Trump gave a campaign-style speech to a group of young scouts on Monday, despite promising he wouldn't speak about politics early on in the speech.

Some parents vented on Twitter after Trump's freewheeling speech, calling Trump's comments to the crowd of mostly middle school and teenage boys inappropriate.

..........................................

Trump leaned further into his campaign posture at the jamboree, saying "under the Trump administration, you will be saying 'Merry Christmas' again," reviving an old declaration he routinely made on the 2016 campaign trail.

The president also railed against his 2016 presidential election rival, Hillary Clinton, eliciting more jeers from the crowd.

Parents appeared to be outraged by Trump's speech. ............................SOME EXAMPLES OF COMMENTS AT LINK.....................

Probably more, because people are complaining about their comments being deleted.

It's comforting to see that there are still sane people in the world.
