What I like most about this article are the powerful fairy-tale allusions: “Don’t be fooled by the white paw of the wolf knocking on your door pretending to be your mother, the one wearing your grandma’s nightgown and pretending to be in need, or the house made of candy promising endless satisfaction while waiting for you to ripen.” Too bad school authorities are against fairy tales and other classic stories because some mythically sensitive child might call out, “I’m offended and harmed.” I remember the Toronto teacher investigated for reading the romantic Jacques Prevert poem “For you my love” because it has the word slave in it.
