I am the mom of two precious little boys and I take offense to this. My prayer for them is that they meet Godly ladies and get married for them. I pray that God gives them the strength to save themselves for marriage. I want them to be pure and holy. The last thing I want is for them to be "pursued." I don't know why any parent would allow their child to wear something like that. It's disgusting! Thank you so much for taking a stand for moms and dads everywhere.

As a mother of two preteen girls we are always battling the clothes dilemna. It's either the comments relating risky sexual behavior or shirts that tell everyone that my girls are spoiled and princesses. Ick! If you are looking for good holiday attire, try Target. They had shirts for $5! They were very patriotic. I agree completely! As a mother of two preteen girls we are always battling the clothes dilemna.

I'm totally on board with what girls should be devoting themselves to. As for my boys, I'm not totally sure they would "all" get it, but we are raising them to love the Lord and be respectful to girls (among other things). Also praying that when it does come time to find a wife, they will seek Him to find her.

I totally agree with everything you posted above. I would never let my girls wear a shirt that degrades our country and my girls. I drove around for 2 hours looking for Patriotic clothing for my girls. I haven’t been in Old Navy for a while though, so I haven’t seen those shirts.

On several levels...all of which you mentioned. I think the Old Navy designers/powers-that-be/PR people gave chose marketing and sales over taste on this one. Too bad. Yeah, that’s pretty ridiculous.

I kept going to ON and asking when they were getting their $5 Flag shirts and they never knew. When we went to Montana the end of June I found them there! I have 4 little boys so I didn't really look much at the girls shirts but I did see the ones mentioned at the CA stores but only the "Proud to be A(ME)RICAN one in MT. I thought about my friends that have all girls and I know they would never put those on their girls either (and they have teenagers too)! I was really disappointed until I found the ones in MT. They had the American Flag on it with the name OLD NAVY 2008 below it. They were in the traditional colors of RED, WHITE, and navy BLUE. I also got a grey one because I wanted my boys each in a different color. To think that they are targeting the CA customers this way just adds another reason to move back to the wholesome living I grew up with in MT. I certainly don't want some girl "pursuing" my boys. I want them to grow up to be gentlemen and treat girls with the respect they deserve! I am going to write ON next and let them know that they really missed the boat this year. When I got back with my "American" shirts all my friends were mad that they weren't offered the same thing here. Thanks, Beth for making me take a stand for our country! Donna Larson I totally agree!
