Anyone else sick of revisionism disguised as literacy methodology?


When watching the episode containing the backstory of "The Emperor's New Clothes," it was very disheartening to see that the evil motivation of the "tailor" was completely overlooked and instead of showing that it was a trick to insinuate that the emperor was gullible and would wear "invisible" clothes because he wanted to "wear" the latest thing and thereby learn a lesson in humility when revealed he had been duped, this show totally ignored that premise in the name of dumbing-down and smoothing over / twisting it to be more of a I'd-rather-wear-visible-clothes-to-avoid-embarrassment-of-being-seen-in-my-underwear-sorry-totally-legitimate-tailor-who-holds-a-clothesless-hanger-who-merely-has-a-difference-of-opinion-and-is-not-trying-to-embarrass-the-emperor-at-all than the traditional meaning of the story.

I know it is a children's show, and people can think I am splitting hairs, but this dumbing down and revisionism gets into the minds of kids and they end up being sheep-slaves who would rather help a king avoid embarrassment (protect NWO / President Snow-type leadership) than fight against totalitarianism and remember the original intent of the story: Extreme Obama-narcissistic Vanity leads to even a child in the crowd realizing that you are not living in reality and you need to be shocked back into reality after being duped by the latest "fashion."

This is only one example, but I am sick and tired of having to unbrainwash children who gloss over the whole original intent of these stories in the name of being able to "change the story," in the name of literacy.---which is kind of ironic too--if the parallel was carried out to its ultimate end, an enlightened child sitting at home watching Super Why parading its revisionisms would exclaim, "Hey! This show has no clue!" The parade would stop, all the characters would become embarrassed of how they were exposed as having been duped by Common Core and other hokum, and the Sprout "Tailors" who had set everything up to be a lesson in humility would explain that the era of MK-Ultra was now over and we could return to learning literacy without revisionism disguised as fun.
