Fairy tales help stimulate the imagination of children and are accepted by them as fantastic and colourful parables. Only twisted perverts could interpret sexual innuendos in any of the popular fairy tales told to children. There will always be those trouble seeking morons who want to find racism, sexism and smut everywhere. If you read something in any publication which you consider to be an innuendo you should ''whip it out''.

What I think is that yes, children should read fairy tales. They stir up hope inside them, which is what is enough to live through all the tough times that come ahead in their lives . They tell them that dreams, when seen and tried to achieve with great effort , do come true. Although they make them aware of the darker sides of the world, (which the children dont need to know about or which dont really exist) , these fairytales also teach children that yes, all bad things, in the end are over and if, they aren't then its not really the end.

Actually it is only a few fairy tales that the PC folks criticize as perpetuating minority stereotypes. For every one of those there are hunhdreds that are politically neutral and even the libtards have no problem with.

Any sort of reading stimulat5es the mind. Much more than video games or TV, which are equal to brain death.

Speaking of Brian Death, I consider the Bible to be a book of Fairy tales, and indeed most relifgious fundies who think it is the written book of God ARE brain dead.

I much better and accurate statement than yours would be "Does reading Bible stories to Children" hamper their intellectual development?"

I would answe this question with a defgintive "maybe"

LOL

That is, so long as the paents told the children that the bible stories are simply fables and fiction, like Greek Mytholigy or 1001 Arabian Nights, I guess no harm is done. Unless of course they read to them one of the Old Testament's bloody murderous stories. Like when Yahweh the Douche killed a couple dozen children just for calling Elijah "baldy."

Or the Passover where God killed innocent children.

Here is a list of some Bible stories so cruel and murderous and just plain evil that NO child should ever be taught they are anything but products of ignorant and superstitious minds....

As it may be offensive, like the full source of that "zip-adee-doo-da-zip-at-e-day" song about slavery, it will be safe on how it will developed to the public and people who makes it as something else.

They help children develop their imagination, it also teaches them valuable life lessons for later in life. I'm not saying a child will be necessarily bad of they don't read fairy tales. What i'm saying is that fairy tales can be a very crucial part for the development of a child.
