The cereal brand is under fire from conservatives for their box that includes a link to a free digital library with 'equity, diversity and inclusion content.'

Kellogg's Froot Loops is catching heat from the anti-woke crowd for its latest move. What's the fuss about? The brand is running a promotion on Canadian boxes that links kids to a free digital library.

You'd think encouraging kids to read is a good thing, right? But here's the kicker: the digital library is all about diversity and inclusion.


The website spills the beans, saying the library was cooked up with the help of BGC Canada and Kids Can Press. They wanted families to dive into topics like kindness, acceptance, and cultural inclusivity.

Pictures of the cereal boxes ended up on an X account called @EndWokeness, with a caption that screamed:

"Fruit Loops is now encouraging kids to go online and read their free library of woke propaganda."

@LibsofTikTok, a big player with 2.6 million followers, wasn't having it either. They said:

"Fruit Loops promotes free access to a digital library on their cereal boxes for kids. The library offers a range of books to teach kids themes of 'equity, diversity, and inclusion.'"
“@KelloggsUS wants to indoctrinate your children with breakfast cereal. Stop giving them your money!"

Many of @LibsofTikTok's followers jumped on the bandwagon, bashing Kellogg's for trying to get kids to read about other people's lives.

Many of the actual “libs” of the internet are laughing at this entire charade.










This isn't the first online rodeo for Froot Loops. Back in 2019, Kellogg's dropped a limited edition box called "All Together," mixing all its cereals, including Froot Loops, to stand against bullying for Spirit Day.

Back then, Priscilla Koranteng, Kellogg's Vice President of Talent and Chief Diversity Officer, said they've been supporting LGBTQ employees and families for over 100 years.

Kellogg's is all about nourishing families so they can thrive, and they welcome everyone to the table.

In 2021, Kellogg's teamed up with GLAAD for a limited edition Froot Loops "Together with Pride" box, showing they're sticking to their guns on diversity and inclusion.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
