Pentagon Pete Goes After a Rite of Passage for Young Boys

In his perpetual assault against “DEI,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is now targeting one of America’s premier institutions for developing young men—Scouting America.

Formerly known as the Boy Scouts of America, Scouting America has reentered Hegseth’s crosshairs after he, as a host on Fox and Friends Weekend, had previously railed on the organization’s 2024 rebranding and inclusivity efforts.

Now, as the boss of his so-called “Department of War,” Hegseth issued an ultimatum to the American institution, which has long maintained a mutually beneficial partnership with the U.S. military, requiring their cooperation in “terminating radical DEI preferencing in federal contracting.”
