NPR this morning had a story about how a group of right wing nuts are trying to start a boycott of American Girls Stores. It is because American Girls makes charitable donations to Girls Incorporated. Girls Inc. used to be named the Girls Clubs of America. The wing nuts say that Girls Inc. advocates against restrictions on abortions and promotes lesbianism. I believe that would really surprise the young girls who are served by the clubs, most of which are in poor neighborhoods.
Here a link that describes what Girls Inc. really does.

The NPR story was deficient in giving too much air time to the wing nuts, while not refuting the false claims or giving any information on the good that Girls Inc. does. NPR didn't interview anyone from Girls Inc.
The sad thing is that, according to the story, American Girls will probably not renew their donation campaign with Girls Inc. to shut these wing nuts up. Then they will feel they have won.
