I don't know where you went to school, but I'd hope you were introduced to Hans Christian Anderson and the Brothers Grimm. All 'fairy tales.' I'd also go so far as to suggest that you were required to read several other works of fiction in your educational journey. Didn't you read Dickens, Melville, and Shakespeare in school? Fiction! Why are you in favor of censorship? In a word, it is a brilliant piece of writing, so long as we recognize that it is a work of Fiction, rather than fact. We don't have to 'believe' it to appreciate it. Same with the Koran for Muslims and the Sutras for Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. How many Americans can state the precepts of Jainism, or have even heard of it, for that matter, despite it being a globally recognized world religion? Nothing wrong with learning about religions in school. We are there to learn about the world, and most of the world, for better or worse, relies upon Religion.
