Into the woods by John Yorke debates censorship in art.

Into the woods by John Yorke debates censorship in art.
He says”Censorship removed psychological truth and replaces it with denial, wish fulfilment and propaganda. It makes for neither better drama or better psychology. Pretending the world isn’t cruel may be far more damaging for children than showing that it is.”
I think the cleaning up of fairytales is a shame. Children are able to take in all sorts of characters and dilemmas through the safety net of a book shared with teachers or parents. There is no point sheltering children to the bad or good parts of life. Sheltering only causes low self resilience and coping skills.
What do you think?
