CAN WE STILL HAVE HELEN THOMAS DOLLS?
"Democrat Jeff Eldridge introduced a bill in the House of Delegates on Tuesday that would ban the sale of Barbie dolls - and 'other dolls that influence girls to be beautiful' - in West Virginia.
Eldridge said the dolls have encouraged girls to value their physical appearance more than their education and intelligence.
'I hate the myth around, if you're beautiful, you don't have to be smart,' Eldridge said.
His bill, HB 2918, would make it illegal to sell Barbie dolls 'and other similar dolls that promote or influence girls to place an undue importance on physical beauty to the detriment of their intellectual and emotional development.'"
