Car manufacturer Kia has continued to stonewall following a Daily Caller News Foundation report on the company's ties to a nonprofit that distributes LGBTQ-themed books to children. The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network's (GLSEN) Rainbow Library — a program that provides teachers with free children's books which propagate transgender ideology — prominently listed Kia as a co-sponsor on its website as recently as Tuesday. However, Kia has since been removed from the Rainbow Library's sponsors page after a spokesperson for the carmaker denied in a statement Tuesday that it sponsored the nonprofit in 2023 or 2024 and subsequently failed to respond to eight follow-up inquiries from the DCNF sent between Tuesday, Dec. 17, and Monday, Dec. 23. In the several follow-up emails sent to Kia, the DCNF asked if the carmaker had requested GLSEN remove it from the Rainbow Library donors page and if it had falsely stated it was not a 2023-2024 school year Rainbow Library sponsor.
