LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Growing Pains' star Kirk Cameron has been banned from over 50 libraries from hosting story hours for his new Christian Children's book. The libraries, however, host similar drag queens events for children. The publicly funded libraries that are often under fire for promoting drag queens and other LGBTQ+-centric story hours for young children have reportedly decided there is no space in their programming lineups for more traditional and faith-based titles.

Cameron's book, As You Grow, "teaches biblical wisdom and the value of producing the fruit of the spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, self-control," according to the author. The book and the actor have been denied by the libraries which are largely funded by taxpayers, claiming its messaging doesn't align with their progressive values.
