A pro-family organization is calling for a boycott of Scholastic Books.
To the Illinois Family Institute's (IFI) chagrin, Scholastic Books has decided to keep the controversial children's book Luv Ya Bunches in its middle-school book fairs. Laurie Higgins, director of the IFI's division of school advocacy, says the book is controversial because one of the four girls in the book is being raised by a lesbian couple. "Scholastic Books was not going to include it in their school book...fairs, and then there was a protest by homosexual activists, and an organization called Change.org organized a petition drive, and they got Scholastic Books to reverse their decision," explains Higgins. "So now the book is both in their catalogue and will be in middle school book fairs." Illinois Family Institute is asking parents to contact their schools and tell them that if the school is including the book in the book fair, then their children are not to be brought to the fair, nor should they receive a copy of the catalogue. Higgins also asks parents to boycott Scholastic Books as long as it continues to promote books that affirm the homosexual lifestyle.
