Bevin takes on faltering American culture in speech to Boy Scouts

School violence "is not an easy topic. There is no easy answer. There is no complete or even perfect answer for any of what ails us. There's a lot of moving parts," Gov. Matt Bevin said.

The rising wave of violence and school shootings in America is the result of a lot of little things, according to Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin. And Bevin touched on many of them, but not the topic of gun control, during a speech to the Boy Scouts of America's Lincoln Heritage Council on Wednesday afternoon at the Galt House.

"This [school violence] is not an easy topic. There is no easy answer. There is no complete or even perfect answer for any of what ails us. There's a lot of moving parts," Bevin said, adding that he had been discussing the topic with Republican and Democratic lawmakers in Frankfort this morning. "It was an interesting conversation and one where all of us were of absolute agreement that something needs to be done."

The spike in school violence is a trend that has unfolded in Kentucky — with a shooting at Marshall County High School on Jan. 23 — and across the nation. Stepped-up gun control legislation has been proposed across the nation as a means of curbing the violence. Meanwhile, the governor has decried violent media such as movies and video games as being part of the problem.

Instead of giving specifics about actions that lawmakers might take, the governor used Wednesday's appearance to point the finger at societal ills, such as apathy and the collapse of the family. And he called on those in attendance to financially support the Boy Scouts to help provide children with an organization that can instill such values in them.

It was a philosophical speech for Bevin, who admitted he was winging it, as he's known to do. He even quoted Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "A Psalm of Life," in saying: "Lives of great men all remind us; We can make our lives sublime; And, departing, leave behind us; Footprints on the sands of time."

He asked the crowd what footsteps are they leaving on the sands of time.

"Would you want those to be followed by the people you care about?" he asked.

Bevin says there's a degradation of mores in our society, a moving of the boundaries in which we operate. Everyone has a responsibility to be mindful of our environment. But in today's society we have a wealth of information but increasingly little discernment of how to process it.

"We're losing something in our society, and it's not good," he said.

This discussion of culture and society is not new for Bevin. He said during the appearance that he recently had a similar discussion with a reporter who was asking him about legislation. But he said his thoughts on society were cut out of the reporter's final story (which Bevin called "weak"), so he posted a video of it on his Facebook page. That video has received 17.5 million views, he said.

What destroys nations is not war, but apathy, the governor said. He challenged those in attendance to think about the responsibility they have to society and how it ties in with the scouts' mission.

Ignoring that responsibility has hurt America, he said.

“Now, increasingly, kids have nothing. And they are rudderless. And they are morally bankrupt because nobody is pouring [values] into them,” he said. “We are failing our young people, and we are reaping what we sow."

He urged those in attendance to double down on donations to the scouts to help end that trend.

Boy Scouts of America Lincoln Heritage Council serves about 36,000 youth and volunteers in 64 counties in Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois and Tennessee, according to its website.

In 2017, the organization issued 10,399 merit badges and contributed $1.3 million to the community though volunteer service. There were 3,946 scouts who attended summer camp at one of its four properties last year. And scouts completed 80,706 service hours.

Stop mass shootings in school? How about start investigating the FBI when one happens. It's a pretty peculiar (((coincidence))) when FBI links are found during mass shootings.

Bevin seems pretty good on the issues, but never forget he's a nigger worshipper

In 2011, Bevin took all of his children out of school for a year for a 26,000-mile (42,000 km) tour of the United States, visiting sites of educational or historical interest, including the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee, where Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated and the Topeka, Kansas, schoolhouse at the center of the landmark Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision.[4][9] After their application to adopt a daughter from Kentucky's foster care system was denied because they already had five children, the Bevins adopted four children – between the ages of 2 and 10 – from Ethiopia in June 2012.[
