LOS ANGELES (W.) Nov. 20, 2006 - The U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program has changed its position and will now accept Jesus dolls and other dolls of other Biblical characters from one2believe.com.
One2believe said the about face came after overwhelming public outrage when the U. S. Marine Corps said it would not accept one2believe.com's donation of the free figures. When the decision to decline one2believe's donation became public, Toys for Tots was the subject of hundreds of television and radio news stories, the toy-maker said. Toys for Tots also received many emails and phone calls at their Quantico, Va. headquarters from people upset by their decision not to accept the dolls because of their religious nature.
