The Florida Virtual Curriculum, which my school is using, has replaced actual fairytales with godawful milquetoast versions that it’s nonetheless saying are fairytales and I am SCREAMING. Come with me on a journey. Here is what they have done to Hansel and Gretel: a thread.

IT WOULD BE ONE THING TO SANITISE A FAIRYTALE BUT KEEP IT A FAIRYTALE, BUT THESE NEW VERSIONS *ARE NOT FAIRYTALES* AND THEY DON’T MAKE NARRATIVE SENSE. YOU CANNOT TEACH KIDS BASIC LITERARY ANALYSIS USING STORIES THIS BAD!

I have questions. Why doesn't the old woman have grey hair? What are they trying to tell kids here? 30 is old? What is wrong w/them replacing the food they ate? That's an entirely fair request. Isn't the ending encouraging kids to go out after dark? (We have FV, too.
