This story has been updated to include comment from Old Navy.

Old Navy is ending 2015 with a public relations headache.

Twitter users are in an uproar over shirts the discount clothing retailer is selling that say YOUNG ASPIRING ARTIST with the word ARTIST crossed out in favor of careers like ASTRONAUT and PRESIDENT.

Angry shoppers say that the shirt belittles young girls’ dreams of going into the arts.

If being an artist is a bad profession, would you mind telling me who created this design? @OldNavy pic.twitter.com/MIC1KEKmTr

In response, Old Navy, which is a unit of Gap Inc. (GPS), says it is discontinuing the graphic tee and working to remove it from stores. Company spokeswoman Debbie Felix said in an email to Fortune that “at Old Navy we take our responsibility to our customers seriously. We would never intentionally offend anyone, and we are sorry if that has been the case.”
