A surprising number of the most cherished books for children are profoundly racist. We tend to forget that fact because we read them when we were children. Asterix. Little Women. Several of Roald Dahl’s classics. Huckleberry Finn. They all have scenes or characters that can make anybody--not just the politically correct--wince. We talk with parents who have confronted this problem themselves as well as with experts on diversity in children’s literature.
