When advocacy works: Disney admits Baby Einstien videos not so good for babies and other good news

And remember when Change.org pointed out that even though it says so on the box, Fruit Loops aren’t healthy? And now, after the FDA agreed, Kellogg’s is going to stop saying that.
See? Isn’t this fun?
Let’s continue with Scholastic. Not the old Scholastic problems, but a new one: Scholastic bans book because author refuses to change same-sex parent characters into heterosexuals.
May be time to write Scholastic or, better yet, reconsider that Scholastic book fair at your child’s school. See CCFC’s Guide to Commercial-Free Book Fairs.
