THE 'RED' WASN'T JUST IN HER HOOD.

This is an addendum(b) to the previous post on Censorship. The quote comes from "Books Supressed or Censored by Legal Authorites" (the link appears in the previous post):

"An illustrated edition of "Little Red Riding Hood" was banned in two California school districts in 1989. Following the Little Red-Cap story from Grimm's Fairy Tales, the book shows the heroine taking food and wine to her grandmother. The school districts cited concerns about the use of alcohol in the story. "

I can't add anything to that. Just shake my head sadly while sipping a pretty good New York State Cabernet Sauvignon.
