Republican AGs Express Concerns Over Target's Pride Campaign and Child-Protection Laws
Seven Republican attorneys general, led by Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, have warned Target that its Pride collection may violate child-protection laws and threaten the economic interests of shareholders due to resulting boycotts. They argue that the campaign raises concerns about compliance with state child protection and parental rights laws. Target's Pride collection faced criticism for containing clothing deemed inappropriate, leading to the removal of some items. The attorneys general accuse Target's leadership of negligence and prioritizing politics over business interests. Target's stock has fallen nearly 20% since the controversy surrounding its Pride merchandise.
