The famous -- and soon to be infamous -- Scholastic Books has decided to include the pro-homosexual book for 9-12 year-olds,
Luv Ya Bunches, in its middle school book fairs. This troubling book is already in the Scholastic Book Club catalogue, which is distributed to elementary school children.
Because of the vociferous protests of homosexuals and a petition drive by the pro-homosexual organization
Change.org, Scholastic Books has reversed its initial decision to exclude the book from their book fairs. It will now allow
Luv Ya Bunches to be included at its middle school book fairs.
According to the
Guardian, author
Lauren Myracle "who regularly makes the list of the most banned and challenged authors in the US -- capitulated on the language, removing words such as 'geez', 'crap', 'sucks', and 'God', but refused to replace the lesbian parents of her character Milla with a heterosexual couple." Scholastic Books includes
Luv Ya Bunches on it's
"Teacher's Picks" page as one of the "Best Books" for grades 3-5.
