American Girl to Release Their First Boy Doll

American Girl is living up to demands for more diversity within their line of dolls. Julie Parks, director of public relations at American Girl, said parents and kids have been asking for dolls with “more experiences, more diversity, more interests.” Parents can celebrate, we are now seeing gender inclusion as well as race. 



 American Doll plans to release a new line in 2017. Including Logan Everett, a boy who plays drums alongside his friend Tenney Grant, a singer-songwriter in Nashville, Tennessee. 

  

 Who said boys can't play with dolls, much less be one?

For the first time since 2010, The New York Times ran a television commercial during tonight's broadcast of the Oscars.  The New York Times is a popular subject of Trump's Twitter feed. Constantly being criticized for 'failing' and reporting 'fake news.'  The video ended with bold, black letters on the screen that read "The truth is more important now than ever."

We need publications - such as The New York Times - to report that truth. I applaud this ad. I applaud the messaging. I applaud The Times.
