Wis. (Catholic) School: No American Girl Fashion Show

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- A Roman Catholic school is canceling a fashion show by the manufacturer of American Girl dolls and books amid conservative groups' criticism of a girls organization (Girls Inc.) that receives support from the company.

The American Family Association has called Girls Inc. "a pro-abortion, pro-lesbian advocacy group." Girls Inc., which has more than 1,500 centers across the country, says it provides a variety of programs to educate and encourage girls and does accept lesbian sexual orientation. Alexander Kopelman, director of communications, said it does not include abortion in its programming, though it does not control what leaders say if girls ask about it.

Money raised through ticket and raffle sales at the planned fashion show was to go toward a new playground and a refurbished library at St. Luke School (Brookfield WI).

"It's a bargain we'll just have to pass up," wrote Frank Malloy, St. Luke pastor. "The cost is too high. Our integrity isn't for sale."

1. This is why I am no longer a member of THAT "church".

With all the child molestation they have, they still have the nerve to have their Cardinals come out for Bush in 04' and are still violating Christs message of tolerance by assaulting gays!

2. This is a case

of mass hysteria. My daughter loved these dolls and so do the girls I teach. I've read all their books and have seen their website and have always been impressed with the fact that they CELEBRATE young women and their potential. Hogwash.
