Restaurant chain Pizza Hut is the latest company meddling in divisive political issues, as they promote a children’s book this summer that features a young boy who dresses in drag.
Since 1984, Pizza Hut has been running a reading program for PreK through sixth-grade classrooms called “BOOK IT!” incentivizing children to read a list of books to achieve awards, such as free pizza.
In celebration of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) Pride Month, the fast-food chain owned by Yum! Brands added “Big Wig,” which tells the story of a young boy who competes in a neighborhood drag competition.
The publishers, Simon and Schuster, said the book “celebrates the universal childhood experience of dressing up and the confidence that comes with putting on a costume.”
“And it goes further than that, acknowledging that sometimes dressing differently from what might be expected is how we become our truest and best selves,” the publishers continued.
The book’s author, Jonathan Hillman, who graduated from Hamline University in the Writing for Children and Young Adults program, tweeted about his book being featured in Pizza Hut’s book club for young kids. BOOK IT! ‘s website shows the book is for kids from Pre-K to 3yo.
Critics of the children’s book suggested a boycott over woke corporatism.
Should we boycott @pizzahut? https://t.co/epZ8yaaYtK

Some pointed out this is a “plan to indoctrinate kids.” At such a young age, children’s brains are like sponges taking in everything around them…
None of this woke activism comes as a surprise considering Pizza Hut is owned by Yum! Brands. Last month, Taco Bell, also owned by Yum!, introduced “Taco Bell Drag Brunch” at select Taco Bell Cantinas across the US.
Seems like Yum! ‘s out-of-touch executives are pushing woke activism through its fast-food chains. The consequences could be severe for Yum! as the saying goes, ‘get woke, go broke,’ as Americans are becoming increasingly outraged that such corporate and government messaging is being aimed at their children.
Even former McDonald’s CEO Ed Rensi is fed up with woke corporate activism, recently saying: “Corporations have no business being on the right or the left because…their sole job is to build equity for the investors.”
Besides Pizza Hut, liberal-run Ben & Jerry’s launched a multi-state media campaign with billboards to combat anti-trans legislation in several states, such as Florida. Here’s an example of one of the billboards in Georgia.
And it’s not just woke corporate America that is getting push-back. Kuwait’s government summoned a senior US diplomat at the US Embassy in Kuwait for tweeting a rainbow flag in celebration of Pride Month.
How much is too much? Corporate America and the US government are hellbent on spreading an agenda of wokness.
Podcaster Joe Rogan has called woke corporate execs and employees “mentally ill.”

“Universal childhood experience of dressing up”. I can honestly say that starting from the age of 5 or 6 or so, my boys would have rather been dead than be made to put on a purple wig and go out in public like that. But maybe I have to have them evaluated by a psychologist for being weird.
He was only three years old but my son is still pissed about this.
Peter Pan?
More like Robin Hood to me.
I believe I would be too, although he doesn’t look p’d off in the photo.
Yes…being cis gendered is a sickness.
Does anyone with any brains eat their shit pizzas?
In the end days society will be perverse, depraved, violent and haughty.
We’re there.
Depopulation tactic to lower birth rates, it’s working. Only pushed on western nations.
Someday all of these people will no longer cause these problems. It’s amazing how dead people stop causing trouble. And that day I think will be coming sooner than any of them can imagine.
Dead people still cause trouble – THEY VOTE DEMOCRATIC!
Note to self: add Pizza Hut to boycott list.
You probably have noticed there are many commercials with white women and niggers. Also with queers kissing.
I no longer watch American TV so I’ll take your word for it. I’m not interested in seeing that kind of behavior.
Add KFC, Taco Hell, and WingStreet to you list. All (along with Pizza Hut) are operated by Yum Brands.
I’m bummed to discover The Habit is a Yum brand.
The jokes on them, there is a decidedly inverse relationship between those who eat at Pizza the Hut and those who can actually read
I didn’t need Big Wig to boycott Pizza Hut. I already do that because I’m a pizza snob and would never touch that shit.
What is this shit with democrats pushing bad pizza and faggot/pedophile criminal shit ?
BURN THIS SHITHOLE TO THE GROUND with all democrats in it !
Wasn’t their name for pedophile parties called pizza party? If so Pedophile Hut seems more appropriate.
I worked at a few pizza (slut) huts back in the day. Meat is 60% soy protein back in the 80’s. Probably 100% fake now.. Its nasty crap. The pan pizza – disgusting. Sauce sits in the fridge and ferments. Ive never eaten there since.
well, anybody who’d eat that toxic garbage is already poisoning the body, now they sell poisoning of the spirit at the same time with no extra charge..
I made the mistake of accepting some chain pizza offered at a friend’s place a few weeks ago. BIG mistake. Cramps, bloating and an extended (nasty) stay on the throne.
That garbage is not fit for human consumption! WTF is it made of?
Never again.
They one peddled in pure poison for the body and now they are peddling poison for the mind. Good job douchebags.
The purpose of this is to promote pedophilia.
