I remember when I was a kid, Pizza Hut did this all the time.

How is encouraging kids to read "woke"?

Not defending their asinine need to call everything woke. But they're mad at pizza hut because the book of the week is about a drag performer. Not that they're encouraging reading itself

Yeah, it's not the reading specifically, it's the books that are recommended.

Obviously still ridiculous though.

Pizza Hut had a "read some books, get a personal pan pizza" coupon so you force your family to go to pizza hut when I was a kid. They'd just launched in my part of Canada at that point. Salad bar days

The fuck? I was reading books to get a free small pizza from Pizza Hut back in the early 90s as part of the Book It program. They've been doing this for decades.

That I warned you tweet definitely has the same energy as trying to convince someone to throw the Ring into Mt. Doom, what a bunch of bigoted assholes.

It's because it's dangerous to read as a conservative. If they read books that present different ideas and ways of life it shatters the conservative agenda which thrives on ignorance and being able to parrot simplistic hateful attitudes. Harder to indoctrinate a child who already knows there are better ways than hate

Pizza Hut needs to do that reading program for pizzas thing but for adults.

The 'Book It' program was secretly socialism all along.

Also "They took everything from us!" when complaining about Pizza Hut is genuinely bat-shit crazy.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh when I was a kid we had the Book Club thing where you'd take your stamped card to Pizza Hut to get a free pizza. WTF?

did you even read the full screenshot of the tweet? they're objecting to pizza hut suggesting a reading list that includes "woke" books (ie, LGBTQ-friendly content for pride month). it's very obvious what their problem is!

I'm surprised they haven't gone after Dolly Parton yet.
This was my first thought reading the thread title. lol

For those who don't know about the great work she does gifting books to kids.

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library | USA, UK, IE, CA, AU

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a book gifting program that mails free books to children from birth until they begin school in participating areas.

The problem seems to be that the book they're recommending is "WOKE SJW PROPAGANDA" and just merely reading, but still... jesus christ lmao

random, but the Book It program always reminds me of this
