Critics Call Out Girl Scouts for Tweeting then Deleting Congratulatory Post About Amy Coney Barrett – By Penny Starr (Breitbart) / Oct 29 2020
The Girl Scouts of America sparked controversy on Wednesday by posting and then deleting a congratulatory tweet about Amy Coney Barrett joining the ranks of the five women seated on the U.S. Supreme Court.
“Earlier today, we shared a post highlighting the five women who have been appointed to the Supreme Court,” GSUSA tweeted. “It was quickly viewed as a political and partisan statement, which was not our intent and we have removed the post.”

Reaction to removing the post was just as controversial as Twitter users replied, including one who reposted a Girl Scout post from 2019 about women on the Supreme Court.
“Sandra Day O’Connor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan, and Sonia Sotomayor broke gender barriers in the nation’s highest court, but that’s only part of what makes them inspiring role models worth honoring,” the post read and linked to a story on its website celebrating Women’s History Month.
