No company is safe from the woke virus and this time customers have become incensed by clothing brand J.Crew for the four tone-deaf words on its new T-shirt aimed at America’s children. On Wednesday, the indispensable Twitter account Libs of TikTok alerted her 2.2 million followers to the latest shirt J.Crew is selling to parents of toddlers that is festooned with LGBT “pride” flags. The T-shirt appears on the J.Crew website and is priced at a whopping $34.50 as the company targets children. The shirt includes the words, “love is for everybody” on it.

J. Crew Group Inc filed for bankruptcy protection on Monday with a plan to hand over control to lenders, adding to a list of brick-and-mortar retailers pushed to the brink by widespread store closures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The New York-based chain, known for preppy clothing at times worn by former first lady Michelle Obama, filed for bankruptcy in a Virginia federal court with an agreement to eliminate its roughly US$1.65 billion of debt in exchange for ceding ownership to creditors.

"Our bold, text-based graphic products feature issues ranging from women's reproductive rights and push for equality to education and gun control."

A recent feature in J. Crew's online catalogue portrays designer Jenna Lyons painting her son Beckett’s toe nails hot pink. The quote accompanying the image reads, “Lucky for me, I ended up with a boy whose favorite color is pink. Toenail painting is way more fun in neon.”Yeah, well, it may be fun and games now, Jenna, but at least put some money aside for psychotherapy for the kid—and maybe a little for others who’ll be affected by your “innocent” pleasure.This is a dramatic example of the way that our culture is being encouraged to abandon all trappings of gender...
