Subversive Nature of Fairy Tales and Nursery Rhymes

In 1971, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, at the request of the President of the United States, began an intensive investigation into the subversive effects of fairy tales and nursery rhymes on the American populace. During the course of this covert operation, the FBI put together a list of fairy tales and nursery rhymes determined to be subversive because of their failure to comply with federal regulations and/or the clear and present danger they created for the people of the United States. What follows is an excerpt from the Justice Department memorandum classified: TOP SECRET.
