Kirk Cameron helps launch school book fair project to provide children's books without 'pornography'

Actor, author and activist Kirk Cameron is helping launch nationwide book fairs that will offer literature that he views as a "healthy, wholesome" alternative to offerings at other fairs, which he says are filled with "pornography."

More than 600 public and private schools have already expressed interest in the project, known as SkyTree Book Fairs, Cameron said, Fox News Digital reported Tuesday.

"SkyTree Book Fairs offers a positive alternative to Scholastic," Cameron, who is on the SkyTree advisory board, said.

Scholastic Book Fairs is the largest book fair company in the United States, but Cameron said: "It’s obvious that Scholastic is committed to indoctrinating our youth with harmful messages."

Some of the more controversial books published by Scholastic include titles such as "Welcome to St. Hell: My Trans Teen Misadventure: A Graphic Novel," a book marketed to children ages 14 and up about a high school girl who transitions to being a boy. The book features drawings such as a nude girl who refers to her exposed groin as her "imaginary willy."

Other controversial books include "Melissa," a book marketed to children ages 8 to 12 about a child named George who wants to be a girl named Melissa.

"A lot of this stuff is pornography by any definition," Cameron said about the Scholastic books.
