A commission of parents decided to take over 200 stories of children for not having a gender perspective.

The clbadic stories like "Little Red Riding Hood" or "Sleeping Beauty" are taken from children's literature and they are present in all the children's libraries. Some movies have even been made. However, Many have been questioned by the feminist movement about not having a gender perspective.

In the Tàber school, located in Barcelonaparents asked not to give this type of literature to their children. For this reason, they created a commission which, in one of its initiatives, revised the school library to leave only books with a certain gender perspective and an equal appearance for boys and girls. These accounted for 70% of the total and 200 pounds were removed, to the horror.

In Poland, Catholic priests burned Harry Potter books

Anna Tutzó, one of the mothers who make up the commission, examined the catalog and declared: "We are far from an egalitarian library in which the characters are men and women and in which women are not stereotyped"

In addition, he said that the most common situations encountered in this literature were to badociate masculinity with values ​​such as courage and competitiveness. "Also in the situations of violence, even small, it is the child who makes them against the girl. This gives a message about who can exert violence and against whom, "he added.

Librarians have explained that trying to erase the history of literature at once is dangerous because it would be like erasing memory. "Folk tales have a value in themselves, they are part of centuries of history, a millennial tradition that helps children understand reality," said Montse Vila, Spanish librarian.

Five books that inspired Gabriel García Márquez

In this line, Tuzó said: "But we wonder, Are all the books we read politically correct? Where will we put the brake? We are dismayed by the recent fire of Harry Potter books in Poland by religious fanatics. Does censorship apply to this case? "

In Argentina, the "Antiprincesas" collection by Editorial Chirimbote, seeks to tell stories that are absent from official literature, such as the biographies of Frida Kahlo, Juana Azurduy, Violeta Parra or the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo.
