Kentucky Science Center Apologizes for Inadvertently Distributing Planned Parenthood Coloring Books

The Kentucky Science Center recently apologized for an incident during its Health and Wellness Days event where a Planned Parenthood coloring book containing graphic material was distributed to a group of children aged 8 to 13. Initially, Planned Parenthood denied that the coloring book was given out, but later acknowledged that a staff member had inadvertently distributed it without prior consent from the Science Center. The coloring book included images related to reproductive health, which the Science Center claimed did not align with its policies. Following the event, the Science Center announced that Planned Parenthood would no longer be allowed to participate in future events, citing the need for stricter review processes for distributed materials. The incident sparked significant online discussion, with many expressing differing opinions about the appropriateness of the material for the event's young audience. The Science Center is now re-evaluating its internal protocols to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
