AIDS activists want to boycott the Hersey company because a school named after Milton Hershey will not admit an HIV positive student.
The AIDS Healthcare Foundation is calling for a nationwide boycott of the Hershey Co. on Valentine’s Day to protest the Milton Hershey School rejection of a 13-year-old boy who is HIV-positive.
On Tuesday, the foundation and AIDS advocates in Los Angeles will also host a press conference and teleconference about its call on the public to forgo buying Hershey candy and chocolates.
The Hersey company states that the school and the company are two separate entities.
