"Consumer Expert Warns Parents About Woke Toys"
Consumer experts warn that toy companies like Mattel, Hasbro, Build-A-Bear, and Fisher Price are pushing "woke" toys, including gender-neutral dolls and transgender-themed books, prompting criticism from Americans who argue the industry is attempting to push a narrative with the help of local government and liberal-leaning Wall Street. A new California law requires stores with more than 500 employees to include a "gender-neutral" toy section or face a fine, sparking conservative boycotts. Critics argue that these toys are "100% about pushing a narrative" and are being forced on consumers, leading to concerns about the politicization of children's toys and the broader pattern of pushing political preferences in the investment space.
