Whether the kid's question was prompted by his mom is irrelevant. It's great to see kids put politicians on the spot, especially one as blatantly racist and ignorant as Marble. The scout "leader" should use it as a teaching moment explaining how in a Democracy its the duty of citizens to be vigilant, to challenge their elected officials when they are clearly wrong. Instead, the scout "leader" demonstrates to this kid and the other scouts that they should shut up and be compliant.
