Salvation Army bans Harry Potter toys

Recommended Posts

I think the person up-thread made a decent point: when people buy a toy to donate, they expect it will ultimately reach a kid, and not be thrown out. Thus, the SA should re-donate toys that they object to on ideological grounds, rather than throwing them out. I think if I learned that the toy I spent money on got thrown out, I'd really resent it.

But she said the charity delivers those toys to other agencies that then distribute them.



So you're happy now, right?

No. Number One, the SA is being hypocritical. See above.
Number Two, I don't believe her re: the other point. Also from the article:

Quote

The policy has alarmed a Calgarian who volunteered to sift through a southeast warehouse full of unused, donated items and was alarmed when he was told by Salvation Army officials that the two kinds of toys are "disposed of" and not given to other charities.

"I asked if these toys went to another charitable organizations but was told no, that by passing these toys on to another agency for distribution would be supporting these toys," said the man, who wouldn't give his name due to his occupation.

Impliedly, the toy M-16s mean they don't have toy AK-47s, which is a deliberate slap at Moozlims. So racist.

No, they have toy AKs. I saw some pretty nice ones (they even had transparent magazines and shiny brass "ammunition") at a Love's Truck Stop last week. They had them on the sale flier posted in the stores, but they aren't on the website (I was going to link it, but Oh, Well)
