Traditional fairytales 'not PC enough' for parents - Telegraph: "A third of parents refused to read Little Red Riding Hood because she walks through woods alone and finds her grandmother eaten by a wolf.
One in 10 said Snow White should be re-named because 'the dwarf reference is not PC'.
Rapunzel was considered 'too dark' and Cinderella has been dumped amid fears she is treated like a slave and forced to do all the housework."

Why does this sound like a bad episode of KING OF THE HILL?
And we wonder why kids today don't understand age-old references.
If I could find a good copy, I'd read LITTLE BLACK SAMBO to my kids.
Oddly, I just watched Disney's classic SNOW WHITE, and she never refers to them as Dwarfs; she uses the term "little men."
And what was the role, never spoken, of the one called Doc?
Oh, come on. Doc was gay. I mean same-gendered relational.
