Disney Pulls Jessie Episode that Makes Fun of Gluten-free Child
After receiving many negative responses to a recent episode of the show Jessie, which made fun of a gluten-free character, Disney has pulled the episode from the air and internet. I personally think this is a good move but it is an easy way out.
