Holiday season is underway, and Girl Scouts of the USA are reminding their members the holiday hugs are “not” a must.
On Tuesday the organization sent out its recommendation to parents telling them their daughters don’t “owe” anyone a hug arguing that asking your child to give hugs could give them the wrong idea about “consent and physical affection” later in life.
Some say the Girl Scouts are blowing an innocent family interaction out of proportion.
The Girl Scouts have a history of taking on polarizing subjects regarding girls, women and gender identity.
Over the past few years, religious groups have made public splits with the organization because of the GSUSA’s “secular” interests.
