Kirk Cameron pushes public libraries for story-hour reading slot: 'Prepared to assert my rights in court'
Fox News
Kirk Cameron, actor and writer, told Fox News Digital he is pushing back on public library rejections of his proposed story-hour reading connected to "As You Grow," a new children's book.
He added, "That is why I am excited to bring Brave Books Story Hour to public libraries across the country. Unfortunately, though many of these libraries gladly hosted the ‘Drag Queen Story Hour,’ several have refused to let me read about biblical wisdom from my new children’s book, ‘As You Grow,'" he also said. "We have a strategic plan in place, so we are really looking at authors who are diverse. Authors of color." "Let’s celebrate with our community’s greatest entertainers and literacy advocates, the drag queens!" "Authors of faith — like Kirk Cameron — should not be blacklisted by the nation’s public libraries." "I believe the children in your community would benefit from hearing a message teaching biblical wisdom." Maureen Mackey is managing editor of lifestyle for Fox News Digital.
Cameron went on, "Today, I sent a letter to the directors of the Indianapolis Public Library (in Indianapolis, Indiana) and Scarsdale Public Library (in Scarsdale, New York) asking for the same opportunity the drag queens had this year to use a room in their libraries so I can read my new book and talk about love, joy and gentleness — character traits I think we all want to see in our children."
