To the Editor of Fairy-Tales,
I suggest that all Fairy-tales of the school curriculum should be kept intact and not banned due to the reasons of how they are lessons to teach ways of being a good behavioural person.
Yes, I agree with mum-of-two, Sarah Hall, about the fact that it is not right for children to have sexual connections with those who are asleep, but then again, that is only about one thing. Her complaint was about the well-known Fairy-tale Sleeping Beauty where the princess [Princess Aurora] fell into deep slumber due to a curse and the only way for her curse to be cured is, apparently, by a kiss of her true love, which in this case, somehow happens to be the son of some king [Prince Phillip]. In the article, ‘Mum asks school to take Sleeping Beauty off curriculum’, Sarah Hall protested that it, “promotes unacceptable behavior, which shouldn’t be read by young children… the specific issue in the Sleeping Beauty story is about sexual behavior and consent.”
In my opinion, yes, she’s correct about how the story, kind of, promotes sexual behavior but that’s just how the story worked. …show more content…
I actually think it would be a great resource for older children, you could have a conversation around it, you could talk about consent, and how the Princess might feel.” I believe she is absolutely considerate, thinking about children older than her own, and she is absolutely very intelligent saying how teenagers could have a conversation about the topic since that teenagers are older and will be more understanding about the whole concept of sexual performance and why the only cure was a kiss from the princess’s true
