Bopping! C'mon, it was always bopping.
Stupid society changing the classics.

haha . . . I used to live in a preschool, and we had to change anything that was violent. If there were pictures of violence in the books, we had to rip them out.
I actually had a lot of fun changing the storyies around in many cases. The Three Little Pigs will never be the same ever since I got ahols of them.
WHat I can't stand is that now most of those little cd's sing Eensy Weensy Spider istead of Itsy Bisty Spider. Why?

I've wondered that, too. I like my itsy bitsy spider, eensy weensy sounds dumb and I have no idea where it came from. Copywright laws? lol, it's so absurd that they change around our songs.

 i've never heard it eensey weensey before
but ripping pages out of books? wtf. sorry but that seems wrong. we all read them, most of us are fine. and whats wrong with the three little pigs? the only violent one was the wolf...the villain. three little pigs teaches kids not to attack, but to build a strong defense for yourself.

The three little pigs is considered a violent story, since the wolf is after the pigs to eat them. I changes it into a story about prejudices . . . sort of.
I agree, my kids are going to hear the stories in their true form. It preschools, though, it's supposed to be utterlu violence free. You know the one about the old woman who swallowed the fly? She's not allowed to die! She had to cry instead.

I was watching kids at church one time and some of us thought it would be fun to take them outside to play red rover, but the parents were like noooo, someone might get hurt. "we don't want to encourage running". I could understand maybe the fear someone would get hurt (though I don't recall any serious damage done by a red rover game, kids are resilient) but that last comment...whoa! insane.

Back in like grade four I used to play redrover with friends but the teachers stopped us and said we couldn't because we might brake someone's arm

I think I only got to play this game maybe once in my whole life because it was banned in so many places. All because of fear of injury. I'm sure kids have gotten injured... but kids can also get really nasty papercuts from reading. Should we ban that, too? Seriously, most sports can cause injury... oh geez, did anyone see that football video of that guy getting his leg snapped in half while just standing there? Oh, it's awful. I've seen injuries on a freakin baseball field because the runner ran into the baseman. I've seen basketballs to the nose in gym class, broken fingers during volleyball and have received some unpleasant injuries myself during soccer.
Should we just end all sports and games for kids just in case one of them gets injured?

^yeah and all of those are freak accidents. A kid could get hurt while playing red rover, but its not very likely. Kids heal too, its wonderful really.

Exactly, you have a chance of getting injuried in so many thing, they shouldn't have banned it.
I like GinnyX's example. People get papercuts during reading so should they ban that? Very good example! Also if they ever did I would explode.

in response to the 3 little pigs comment that im too tired to go back up and quote lol...
grimms fairy tales have been watered down so much that they have lost all appeal. i mean most of disney is watered down fairy tales.
the little mermaid... had to cut out the heart of (i think) the witch
anastsia's parents were slaughtered
snow white went thru alot.. between the witch and becoming a slave to the dwarves
cinderella's step sisters cut off toes and heels in order to fit the shoe.
etc.
i plan on reading the real stories to my kids and explaining things, instead of being lazy and having them be falcities of the original authors brilliance
i hope that made sense im so tired.

The real fairy tales have much more substance to them.
Snow White was horrible, it was so sexist. Dont' get me wrong, i love Dopey. But they were helpless without her.
Cinderella? Oh please, she knew the guy, what, five minutes?
Early Disney, although more than jus ta little enjoyable, made fairy tales seem kind of... shallow? I think that's the word I want.
I wasn't coddled and I turned out just fine. Well.... lol. That might be up for debate.
