Letter to the Editor
Abercrombie decision to pull shirts on its own

Everyone should have a right to freedom of expression. But with regard to the article, "Pa. youth start 'girlcott' against suggestive shirts," Nov. 11, people are forgetting Abercrombie & Fitch decided to pull the shirts on its own.

Abercrombie is one of the most popular clothing stores in America, and the company has the right and the responsibility to sell or not sell whatever it chooses. Why can't the customers who are passionate about expressing themselves buy their shirts elsewhere? I'm sure they could find similar shirts all over the place; they could even design their own shirts online.

To those who are still upset with Abercrombie discontinuing these shirts: If you need Abercrombie to come up with a slogan for you, is that really freedom of expression?
