The '''American Academy of Pediatrics''' (AAP) is an American a trade association of American pediatricians, headquartered in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. Almost all U.S. pediatricians are members.  The AAP advances the financial and business interests of its members. Almost all US pediatricians are members. Hundreds of millions of dollars are paid out by [[Third-party payment| third-parties]] to physicians, including pediatricians, obstetrician, and family physicians to provide medically, unnecessary non-therapeutic [[circumcision]] of minor boys. Their slogan is: "Dedicated to the Health of All Children," however the protection of the income of its members ("fellows") is also an important consideration.

It is thought that the AAP has never appointed a man with a [[foreskin ]] to one of its task forces, so personal knowledge and understanding of a normal body part has been lacking on its various task forces. The AAP apparently hopes to continue to produce statements in favor of [[circumcision ]] so that the collection of revenue from circumcision can continue.
