I'm really not sure what is worse -- the fact that these parents were kicked off for 5 minutes of tantrum (that's almost NOTHING in my world with a child with developmental issues) or the fact that 71% of people polled agreed with it! So sad. My god, that’s disgusting.

I was not sure but got the impression he was still an active manager of the company. I agree that I would hope Staples current management would disavow these statements publicly; however I do not hold out much hope of that and I agree with you that we cannot expect Staples to police the statements of past employees, even one so intrinsically linked to the company. Regardless, Stemberg's statements are still, as you say, odious--and demonstrate a major lack of understanding about the importance of breastfeeding, and the need for corporations to support it, to individuals and to society as a whole.

He probably still owns huge amounts of Staples stock, and the company should push back against this cretin (but probably won't). But I'm not convinced the Staples brand can be held to account for a former CEO's arrogance and misogyny.
