"Over the course of this term, we've looked a lot at your personal moral stance on things. Today we're going to be looking more generally - on how morals are taught to children, often insidiously.

"A good medium for this is fairy tales. Every culture has them - stories that are told to children, bearing little moral gems to shape and guide. The first thing I want you to do is a select a fairy tale. Don't worry if it's not one I'll know, just pick one you're familiar with."

"I think that a lot of little girls still really want to be the princess, you know? I used to," Angela says, thoughtful. "So for that reason, I would rewrite it. It doesn't really matter if the dwarves are male or female, so maybe I could make it a mixed-gender group. Or make the prince who saves her a princess, to show that gender isn't as important as love."
