That isn't the point. The point is the left is never satisfied with ignoring a story they don't agree with and choosing another. They want to CHANGE the story for everybody and all eternity to suit their viewpoint and their viewpoint alone.

And Pinocchio is the victim of a far right puppet master who turns him into a an evil inhuman liar until he reads Das Kapital and becomes a real human with feelings and such.

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

To be fair, this article used lines like “hundreds of parents” and some of those old school fairytales are actually pretty bizarre. I’d guess most of us were raised on altered versions of some of the classics.

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

Yeah, don't think this is unique to the left.
Here is a list of the most banned/challenged books of the previous decade: LINK
Only the willfully ignorant or woefully unread would dare argue every book on this list was one targeted by someone on the left/liberal/progressive end of the political spectrum.

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 can re-write it. Cinderella had to use a flip phone while all her sisters got Iphones.

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

I wonder how many parents are good with ultra violent fairy tales but screech in favor of banning Harry Potter
Not in favor of bannng anything, but as the series went on, the Harry Potter books became progressively less children-oriented.

For these idiots, that might be even worse.

Children oriented? Sure. That was the point. The series was intended to grow up/age with the target audience. I just looked it up, and Harry was 17 years old by the climax of the series. With that said, the vast majority of literature school aged children are encouraged/required to read isn't children-oriented.

And that was my point.
You might let your 8 year old read the first one, but you’d certainly want to pace him/her over the series. There’s no way you’d want to let him/her read all 7 books in a short span of time. They all got progressively longer, darker in theme and more complicated. If nothing else, your typical 8 year old would probably lose interest after the third book, if he got that far.

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

If that was your point, I'm not sure how it's relevant to the discussion. My (hypothetical) eight year old would lose interest in Shakespeare as well, but I've yet to see any pushes to restrict access to his works at school libraries

Yep. Disney ruined IP law to keep their characters like Mickey Mouse from becoming public domain.

They had already been watered down by disney and such. The Brother's Grimm tales are quite scary.
