American Girl Controversy Update

By plb on October 21, 2005 10:00 AM | No Comments

In what could be the first official boycott of the hugely popular American Girl doll company, the Chicago-based Pro-Life Action League has announced that it will give the doll company two weeks to sever ties with a pro-abortion "sister" organization known as Girls Inc. - MichNews (more information here)

Now we discover that the parent company is taking some of the proceeds and directing them to Girls Inc., an organization with far different values than those we teach and try to model. However, it takes a bit of looking to find the problems; on the surface, supporting Girls Inc. sounds like a fine idea for a values-conscious company. Aardvark Alley
