'Pizza Hut has gone full woke, now we must make them full broke': Restaurant chain sparks outrage and national boycott after its children's' book club features a story about a young boy in DRAG
Pizza Hut has since 1984 promoted books to young readers, rewarding them with a free pizza if they read the books and cash in their school-issue certificates
Dozens of books are added to the scheme each year, and the latest - to celebrate Pride Month - is a book about a boy dressing up, and a magical wig
The publishers say the book 'celebrates the universal childhood experience of dressing up and the confidence that comes with putting on a costume'
Yet some on social media were aghast at the selection, accusing Pizza Hut of indoctrinating their children
