Taber School in Barcelona said nearly a third of its children's books were 'toxic'.
A school in Catalonia has withdrawn from its library 200 classic children’s books such as Sleeping Beauty and Little Red Riding Hood because of their depiction of sexist stereotypes.
Mezzo-soprano Francesca Jackson performs as Little Red Riding Hood on the stage of the Chatelet Theatre in Paris. The classic story the opera is based on is one of 200 removed from a school library in Spain. FRANCOIS GUILLOT/AFP/Getty Images “Also in violent situations, even though they are just small pranks, it is the boy who acts against the girl. This sends a message about who can be violent and against whom,” she added.
Fairy tales have for a long time been the center of criticism over what kind of messages about gender roles they give children. “It's a specific issue in the Sleeping Beauty story about sexual behavior and consent. It's about saying, 'is this still relevant, is it appropriate?'" she told the Newcastle Chronicle.
