Whatever the case, the store needs to train its employees in the New York State laws that protect breastfeeding anywhere that a mother is authorized to be. Whether or not the NYCLU is advocating for a mother's most basic right, an even-minded person can still admit that Toys R Us is responsible for training its employees in these matters. If I were you I would hesitate to accept the Toys R Us PR letters as the gospel truth. Just because the ACLU is your enemy does not make corporate American your friend.

I wonder if the nursing mother confused another customer with a store employee. It is also possible the store employees are covering up or the nursing mother added to the story. The ACLU may be encouraging her to lie as I believe they have been caught doing so before. Does anyone know of such as case?
