Fractured Fairy Tales - and that agenda thang…
Britain is witnessing the gay agenda at work in an effort to become part of the curriculum in schools - for the most innocent of children - by introducing gay fairy tales - among other programs that are ‘age appropriate’. It is part of their “No Outsiders” pilot program in schools. Fairy tales have always had a moral undertone - influencing children in a positive manner. The newly revised fairy tales have a much different purpose.
In traditional fairy tales, we might recognize The Big Bad Wolf as an obvious pervert, looking to seduce Little Red Riding Hood. Adults knew Hanzel and Gretel were going to be used for more than the story let on. These were archetypal images meant to teach children, albeit on an unconscious level, to beware of strangers, among other lessons. Not every story had this purpose, many taught other moral values. Nonetheless, all were used for good, while remaining entertaining. Even the dopey “Fractured Fairy Tales” on “Bullwinkle and Rocky” had some good morals - I can’t remember what they were now - but they certainly were not as radical as “The King and the King” - a new gay fairy tale for children.
This is so evil. Mythology is an important aspect in childhood development. It inspires a child’s imagination as well as their emotional life, while setting forth certain moral imperatives. Good children’s books and the illustrations are so important towards the artistic development of children as well. Along with the lives of the saints, I read Geek mythology, and fairy tales as a young child. None of these proved incompatible with my faith formation. Yet this new development is truly evil and sinister for our vulnerable and innocent children.
From the British press:
LONDON (Reuters) - British children as young as four are being taught about same-sex relationships through fairytales and storybooks with gay and lesbian characters.
A pilot scheme to introduce children to gay issues is running in several schools across England with stories such as “King and King”, about a gay prince, or “And Tango Makes Three”, about gay penguins who fall in love and raise an adopted child.
The 600,000-pound ($1.16 million) scheme, called the “No Outsiders” project, has the backing of the Department for Education and is designed to help schools adjust to new rules on promoting homosexuality as a lifestyle. - Reuters
It seems to me the Pied Piper of Hamlin - who must be gay - is back, attempting to take our children away - right from under our noses.

This is not to tease…
“Along with the lives of the saints, I read Geek mythology, and fairy tales as a young child.”
I actually *did* read “Geek mythology”…otherwise known as comics.

I was an odd child - I never liked comic books, parades or the circus.
As a teenager I loved Bullwinkle however.

“I read Geek mythology.” Hmmm, so did I, I think.

Not even “Classic Comics” or Prince Valiant!
There was a Catholic comic book series, too, that was quite popular in the 50s. Can’t recall the name now.
For some strange reason I still find “Blondie” to be vaguely amusing. But Doonesbury is the only one I read on the internet. I like it for the drawing as much as I do the characters.
But the current B.D. character who lost a leg in Iraq I consider to be Trudeau’s penance for being a draft dodger in the 70s, so I don’t read it when he obsesses about that.

My boys adore Calvin & Hobbes, which Terry might have liked as a child. And Asterix & Obelix, which they insist is “educational” because of the history and Latin elements. But I confess that I never grasped the hidden meanings in Hansel and Gretel until now.

There was a book out about 20 years ago called “The Great Cat Massacre” (I forget the author’s name) that analyzed the origins of some of the fairy tales. They were peasant stories, and most of the kernels of the original tales were pretty lurid. But they had NOTHING to do with homosexuality. Most of the stories were intended to keep little children from wandering into the woods by themselves. They had basic life lessons, especially relevant to peasant life in the middle ages. The Victorians cleaned up the original stories quite a bit, or they would be unreadable for our children today.
To subvert children’s stories for the gay agenda is the depth of evil.
