Stop Child Pageants in California
Published by Brittany Camacho on Nov 01, 2011
Target: Governor
Region: United States of America
Background (Preamble):
We feel that beauty pageants exploit children and are in the interest of the mothers and not the children themselves.
We would like to see age restrictions (16+) placed on pageant contestants to ensure full consent. We oppose promoting physical beauty as a main value, and not allowing children to play with dolls, but instead, turning them into live Barbies.
