How did Karl Pierson ever become an Eagle Scout expressing Socialist /Communists views

Yes it is a sad fact that some Eagles Scouts  break there oath and ruin the Eagle Scout name one of the most famous Charles Whitman the Texas Tower Terror Killer who acted as a sniper killing 17


Now we have the case of the Colorado School shooter  Karl Pierson 18 yr old who left a 17 year old student in critical condition 
and shot and killed himself 

Now what makes this even more disturbing is the fact how he ever got by  the Eagle Scout Review Board since he vividly expressed Socialist views and often wore communist themed T Shirts .
Not elements you want in an Eagle Scout  when you review the scout oath and law . Which specifically says duty to God and Country .
 Espousing socialist and communist ideas is not duty to country .
Those on his eagle review board  who granted it to him now have to live with  what they did.
At least in the case of Whitman it appears a brain tumor played a role in his behavior and hopefully some day we may find out what caused Pierson to do what he did.

 excerpt From Fox news 
Students and a teacher said Pierson was an Eagle Scout who finished at the top of speech competitions. He competed in extemporaneous speaking — in which students prepare short speeches on current events — in the National Forensic League's national tournament in June in Birmingham, Ala.

Pierson has been described as a dedicated and bright student from a religious family who attends Bible study meetings, leaving those that knew him shocked.
"They're just a normal middle-class family, like many of the families around here," neighbor Diane Shea said.
Thomas Conrad, who had an economics class with the gunman, described him as a very opinionated Socialist.
"He was exuberant I guess," Conrad told The Denver Post.

Well this just goes to show how easy it is to get your Eagle Scout award in today's world  and how low the scouting program in general has gone in bending to political correctness.
What a dam shame they have allowed it to generate to this. Maybe its time to do away with scouting all together  and start a new.
