It awards a free one-topping pizza if they are able to meet a monthly reading goal. Big Wig was promoted in the summer reading program Camp BOOK IT! The Libs of TikTok Twitter account shared images on Thursday depicting the book’s cover and other titles: [email protected] sponsors a program which incentivizes kids in PreK-6th grade to read books. This week, one of their suggested books is “Big Wig.” A book about a child who becomes a drag performer. pic.twitter.com/5FTQC5ubCo — Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) June 3, 2022 Social media users expressed their opinions of the promotion, one person writing, “So aside from terrible pizza we have another reason to never walk into Pizza Hut again.” “Pizza Hut will no longer have my business,” another replied. The Breitbart News report continued: Promoted alongside Big Wig in the summer reading program were two other books with LGBT undertones to coincide with Pride Month, which is celebrated by the left in June. Be Amazing, written by Desmond Napoles, is about “the history of the LGBTQ community,” the website of Macmillan, who published the book, writes. As Breitbart News’s John Nolte wrote in 2018, Napoles, aged 11 at the time, was filmed at a New York gay bar dressed in drag while dancing in front of adults. On Saturday, author Nick Adams also encouraged followers to boycott Pizza Hut. “What they’re doing with this children’s book club in trying to entice kids to be able to earn a free pizza by listing a book about drag queens that is just beyond the pale. Absolutely disgusting,” Adams stated: MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT: Pizza Hut has gone woke, now they must go broke. Every single American must boycott woke pizza! pic.twitter.com/tkij2wa7XL — Nick Adams (@NickAdamsinUSA) June 4, 2022 “It is pandering to the extraordinary and extreme left that are hell-bent on destroying our culture and our society and our country,” he concluded.
