This Teacher Who Has A Lesson Plan On How 'Beauty And The Beast' Is Domestic Violence Must Be A Lot Of Fun At Parties
Daily Mail – Children have grown up with the story of how a man-beast is transformed back into a handsome prince when an evil spell is broken by the love of a young girl.
But now pupils as young as 11 are being taught that loyal heroine Belle is in an abusive relationship with the Beast in which ‘her only asset is her sexuality’.
A lesson plan now available in thousands of classrooms preaches: ‘The Beast does not attack Belle but the threat of physical violence is present.
The lesson plan, called Racism/Sexism in Disney is targeted at 11 to 16-year-olds and was uploaded by an unknown teacher in England for lessons such as RE and Citizenship.
The rant has been viewed more than 11,000 times and downloaded more than 600 times.
Right off the bat there’s one major issue with this chick’s logic: Every old fairy tale type story is massively fucked up. Orphans being baked into pies, women being eaten by wolves who want to also eat said women’s grandchildren, passed out chicks having dudes make out with them to try to awaken them from a coma. And of all that shit the thing you want to point to is the one story where the moral is “If you’re nice to people who look different than you, you may learn about yourself and find love in the process.” I mean don’t get me wrong I don’t want to be sentenced to live with some sort of buffalo monster while candles sing at me and the shower makes cum faces while spraying me with water but at its heart the tale of girl escapes abject poverty to a life of riches because she learned not to judge others is a helpful lesson for kids. There’s no reason to focus on the negatives here given the context.
But really though how much of an awful human must you be to want to ruin mostly-innocent things like this for kids out there? There are joy suckers everywhere around us, people on social media looking for every possible reason to get offended or attack others with the nastiest possible vitriol. Disney made these movies to make a profit, yeah, but they’re mostly vessels for some helpful stories to teach kids to be slightly less shitty than they may otherwise be. Perverting it into some agenda to warp some otherwise pleasant memories is just a dick move by a selfish fatty too lazy to make her own lesson plan who’d rather steal some viral Buzzfeed community feminist post instead.
