Prof. Paul Vaaler Interviewed by CCO Morning News on Target Pride Month Controversy

Professor Paul Vaaler was interviewed by CCO Morning News with Vineeta Sawkar on the Target Corporation's decision to pull Pride Month merchandise in certain locations due to employees receiving threats. Prof. Vaaler explained, "The two weeks have been tough for Target. They've been the target– pardon the pun– of disruptive incidents and potential boycotts by right-wing activists." Prof. Vaaler goes on to examine the history of the Target Corporation and how its founders, the Dayton Family, have a long history of investing in human rights. Prof. Vaaler believes that Target's actions have the goal of maintaining their original "commitment, but also safety of everyone."
