The girls and boys clubs have done a lot of good over they years. I think this attack is misplaced.

AND, this is Mattel, NOT the original Pleasant Company.

The attack is not misplaced. Who cares what these organizations did in the past; it's only what they will do in the future that matters. They have been taken over by Gramcian leftists who are subverting them to leftist ends.

What you say is true, but I cannot agree that past good deeds ever excuse current assent to evil.

I believe you misunderstood - this isn't aimed at the Boys Club or Girls Club, but rather at a company that sells upscale dolls called "American Girls". Mattel recently purchased the company and are now openly supporting a "charity" that supports abortion and various leftist-type causes.

It's not misplaced at all. Several related articles have been posted about American Girl/GirlsInc over the past few days. Did you read up on them or check out the girlsinc website?

Whatever "good" was done by Girls Club in the past has now been overtaken by a group of radical leaders who promote everything most conservatives abhor: abortion, early sexual experiences, lesbianism, etc. The fact that American Girl caters to girls from 9-13, and actually younger via their Bitty Baby line, makes their association with girlsinc even more difficult to understand.

I could be wrong, and I hope someone will correct me if I am, but Girls, Inc. is NOT the same as Girls (and Boys) Clubs of America.

Totally different entities.
