I could agree with you or support Barbie, but IMO, most children
will see the skirt and say, "nice flowers!" Unless a parent decides to
use the doll as a teaching opportunity, it is just a doll. I will go
to the Barbie home page, more than likely she has one, and see
what is printed in/on the box that could be conducive to further
a child's education.
