The PC police continue their assault. Current target--classic fairy tales.

Parents ban and censor fairy tales

Parents are changing the plots of classic fairytales when reading them aloud because of violence and political incorrectness, a new survey has found.

While these classic tales might seem playful and innocent on the surface, a closer look at the plot lines and characters reveals some problematic traits. For example, in Little Red Riding Hood, the child is eaten alive by a wolf, only to be saved by a hunter who cuts her out of the animal’s stomach with an axe.
The Three Little Pigs also reaches a rather gory conclusion, with the pigs murdering a wolf and eating it. Lest we forget The Gingerbread Man, whose protagonist is also eaten by a fox. Biscuit or not, it’s an ending that’s hard for parents to swallow, with one in three labelling it as “too cruel” in the survey.
One in four parents found it inappropriate that Cinderella has to do all of the cleaning in her home while another 25 per cent argued that Sleeping Beauty poses a consent issue, given that Prince Charming kisses the princess while she is asleep.

I fear every day when I kiss my girlfriends forehead before leaving for work, that she will leave me for kissing without permission

Yeah it's about time we updated Mother Goose to gender neutral poly curious queer.

Those stories are pretty violent but this is nothing new. I remember schools banning or censoring Huck Finn. Something about his friend Jim.

I wonder how many parents are good with ultra violent fairy tales but screech in favor of banning Harry Potter 
Parents, read what you want to your kids and don't what you don't. No one cares. This bullshite isn't newsworthy.

The fairies will be different in the new stories.

Little Red Riding Hood got eaten by the wolf..?
The Three little pigs murdered and ate the wolf...?
I don't remember those endings... That would've been awesome...

They should read Anne Rice's version.
But this is actually nothing new. These stories were Disneyized long ago. The medievel versions were downright gory.

Progressives are the new Puritans. Miserable, humorless, hypersensitive dolts.

Is it just the thing to be offended?
Are folks really such pussies or is this fake outrage?

My God. We are living in the end times.

This is why the kids of this generation can't handle the cold, hard reality of what this world is going to do to them... chew them up and spit them out, if they're that lucky.
MS13 and MC Clubs like Bandidos and Outlaws, the Bloods and Crips... these MF'ers will straight kill you for looking at them wrong or being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Yet trying to educate our kids on where not to be and what not to do? Yeah, let's worry instead about the multitude of reasons that there wasn't a safety net to catch dumbass Humpty Dumpty who sat on a wall knowing damn well what was coming to him...

I was traumatized as a child when I found out 'Ring around the Rosie' was about Bubonic Plague.

Doing away with this kills the whole premise of the story.

HBO has led this assault for a generation.
Any folk story or oral tradition from African or any other culture other than white = respected and venerated
Any folk or oral tradition from Northern European or other Caucasian genesis = must be torn down or twisted to fit cultural Marxist dogma

They've been changed for awhile now.
Read the true originals and you'll be amazed they were ever children's stories

It just sounds like some parents are pussies and are selectively changing the stories. I don't see any legal or other policy enactments here.
So great. Let them and their kids be pussies. That's what leftism is for anyway. Weakening and erosion of the target society.

This of course isn't anything new
Fairy tales that I grew up with were far from their original meaning
