Episode Description

In this episode of the Morally Straight Podcast, I’m talking to Brian Knappenberger, the director of the recent Netflix documentary “Scouts Honor,” which tells the story of the Boy Scouts of America's decadeslong cover-up of sexual abuse cases.

We talked about the BSA’s many failures in leadership on this issue, and how the organization’s decision to ban LGBTQ+ members was not only a distraction—but compounded the problem of sexual abuse in the ranks.
