I'm really middle of the road.  I didn't think the speech was necessairly appropriate for the group.  But I thought the parents "angry" reaction was overstated.  i think it benefits kids to learn from an early age that poeple have different perspectives - not necessarily wrong, but different from what their household believes, and to be exposed to other idears so they can learn to think for themselves. 

I think it would have been great if Trump had given a speech about how scouting helps preapare you to be a leader, self sufficient and not dependent on the government to provide every need you will have in life.  But, it was his chocie not to give that speech - he is the President of the United States, and he gets to say what he wants, where he wants.  So I don't think "anger" is the appropirate response.
