The Season 1 box set of "Sesame Street" was labeled "Not Suitable
For Children" afterall...

No one has to "allow" me to teach anything to my children. To pass on
values, morals and common sense is the purpose of fables. You should
not count on today's educational system to teach such. It is the
parents' responsibility to fill in in these areas where the schools
fall short.

I agree 100%. Too bad GOOD parents have to spend so much energy to
unteach the socialist dogma that is drilled into their children by
public schools these days.

But I was actually asking a serious question. I remember reading
Aesop's Fables and discussing the moral lessons in grade school. Have
they been changed and altered the way the lyrics to popular nursery
rhymes have been?

I have a tattered old book that has all the ones I grew up with. I
imagine someone has passed them through a PC filter and re-published
them but I'd bet one could still find the original versions if they
looked. The way the internet is these days one could probably find
dozens of versions on-line. I'm too lazy to go look, I like my old and
tattered copy...
