So if I understand it correctly, the book was banned in some California school districts because Little Red Riding Hood bootlegged for her Grandmother.

I guess they were ok with Hansel and Gretel burning an old lady to death though.

I'm also a little surprised that some folks didn't want to ban Lil' Red because of her evident communist leanings.

. . . are you serious? THAT was why it was banned? Them mentioning ALCOHOL? Wow. So, they were perfectly cool with the bluebirds pecking the eyes out of stepsisters ("Cinderella"), moms decapitating their sons and feeding the body to his father ("Juniper Tree"), and royal dads who want to marry their own daughters ("Thousandfurs"), but no! They must put a stop to Grandma getting a bit tipsy? Talk about a strange set of morals . . . Anyway, Grimm's fairy tales aren't that harmful to children. I haven't heard of any crimes that have arisen because they "read about it in the Fairy Tale book". I think people should have better things to worry about.
