Actor and children’s author Kirk Cameron announced his collaboration with a new project aimed at dethroning what is currently the biggest name at school book fairs. The Christian homeschool advocate and outspoken critic of LGBT books aimed at children is going after Scholastic Book Fairs to provide parents with the assurance that their children have access to healthy, non-sexualized reading material.
Mr Cameron went to are. Scholastic has been the only name in the college book fair game until now.
I grew up reading @Scholastic books like The Magic School Bus. The content they are publishing today is not what I recognize as content for children. It is disturbing that male sex hormones and surgery are presented in cartoons to female children as a miracle solution for… https://t.co/59xIO7Le9a

Call it what it is
Kirk Cameron criticized Scholastic on Included in these examples was Welcome to St. Hell: My Trans Teen Misadventure sold to 14 year olds.
This book, as Mr Cameron says, ‘glorifies’ life-changing operations, such as a page showing a smiling girl showing off the scars from her breast removal, which reads:
“I had my top surgery last month!”
2/ Here are pages from ‘Welcome to St. Hell’, from 2022 @Scholastic book that glorifies gender transition among high school students. (We have censored these pages because their original content may violate social media’s sexual content policy): pic.twitter.com/cYQbsJblJz

Mr Cameron also mentioned the book Melissa – which previously held the title George – which outlines how pre-teems can disrupt their puberty using pills:
“A boy can become a girl. … You could even start taking pills called androgen blockers before you turn 18, which keep the boy hormones already inside you from turning your body into that of a man.
Melissa is marketed to children ages eight to twelve, and the School Library Journal named it the “Best Book of the Year” and promoted it as a “required purchase” for public and school libraries.
Kirk Cameron explained:
“A lot of this stuff is pornography by definition.”

A joint effort
The irony of these books is that while the left-wing media and companies like Scholastic claim that these books are appropriate for children to read and acceptable material for school libraries, the same material is labeled inappropriate in other settings.
Facebook removed pages from some of these books mentioned by Mr Cameron because of their depictions of nudity and sexually suggestive content.
This made the images “obscene” according to Facebook policy. Let that sink in; these images feature nude children, sometimes participating in sexually suggestive activities that, when posted online, essentially constitute child pornography on the Internet.
5/ As further proof of how obscene these books are: @BraveBooksUS had a FB ad with images of @Scholastic“Heartstopper,” which was rejected for depicting “people in explicit or suggestive positions or images showing nudity or cleavage.” pic.twitter.com/t1R5wKmduM

Mr Cameron claims:
“It is clear that Scholastic is committed to indoctrinating our youth with harmful messages.”
This year, Scholastic published a guide for teachers, librarians, and caregivers on how to do that Read with pride. At the end of the guide is an LGBT book list of picture books and early reader books aimed at babies to eight-year-olds.
One of the picture books is Prince Sacha’s wild, fantastic, beautiful day which tells about a boy bear who throws a drag show party. A book tailored to the early reader Dragon Masters #22 with a non-binary character.

According to their website, Scholastic Corporation is:
“…the world’s largest publisher and distributor of children’s books.”
Kirk Cameron hopes to change that dynamic with his SkyTree Book Fairs. Mr. Cameron explains the mission of SkyTree Book Fairs:
“SkyTree Book Fairs offers a positive alternative to Scholastic. We want to provide children with healthy books better. We want a better alternative that puts good, age-appropriate books into the hands of children.”

Kirk Cameron’s decision to take action and not only provide evidence, but also provide an alternative for parents and school administrators is a step in the right direction and perhaps the only way to topple a Goliath like Scholastic throw.
Mr. Cameron lays out the crisis facing America’s youth:
“…children are exposed to sexually explicit, racially biased and gender-confusing children’s books while being told that this is what it means to be educated, that this is the reason they go to school.”
