Actor and evangelist Kirk Cameron is promoting a new book fair series to offer parents and students an alternative to the secular and “obscene, awful material” pushed in schools by Scholastic, the world’s largest publisher and distributor of children’s books.

Cameron, known for his role in the “Left Behind” Christian movie trilogy, recently took part in the launch of SkyTree Book Fairs, a nonprofit that celebrates literacy “while ensuring that books are wholesome and trustworthy,” according to the organization’s website.
Appearing on The Todd Starnes Show on NEWSMAX, Cameron, a SkyTree board advisory, said he has “a deep sense of compassion for precious families and young children who are being victimized by these powerful organizations that are separating children from their parents by sexualizing them when they’re minors, through public schools and libraries.”

“Scholastic books, that trusted company that we’ve all known growing up with the book fairs … they’re lacing those books now with pornography, obscene material, gender confusing material,” Cameron told Starnes. “They’re marketing it to kids from second to sixth grade.”
“And parents don’t even know it’s taking place,” he added.
Cameron said SkyTree is “providing a way for public and private schools to replace harmful Scholastic book fairs” with more modest substitutes. “Over 700 public schools and private schools have already signed up” to conduct SkyTree book fairs, and the inaugural launch will take place next month in rural Virginia.
SkyTree “is a terrific idea,” noted conservative program host Starnes. “We’re all about solutions. Not only identifying the problems … but also identifying solutions.”
“The Fox, the Fair, and the Invention Scare,” one of Cameron’s latest books for youth, “teaches children to love their enemies,” according to its faith-based publisher Brave Books.
“During his own book tours across the country over the past year, Cameron said he was encouraged by parents he met to launch SkyTree Book Fairs,” Fox News Digital wrote after an interview with the author.
Parents concerned with progressive school materials are “coming out of the woodwork, they’re waking up,” Cameron told Starnes, and he recently posted on X to invite “leftists, progressives, atheists and drag queens to sit down and have lunch with me so that we can have a meaningful conversation.”
“I feel the rumblings of revival, Todd.”
