Mother demands her son's school take Sleeping Beauty off the curriculum because the princess doesn't give consent to be kissed and woken up by prince

She said: 'I think it's a specific issue in the Sleeping Beauty story about sexual behaviour and consent.

'It's about saying is this still relevant, is it appropriate?'

Ms Hall has attracted widespread criticism after she tweeted about the issue earlier this week.

Posting a picture from her son's Sleeping Beauty book, she wrote: 'Tell you what, while we are still seeing narratives like this in school, we are never going to change ingrained attitudes to sexual behaviour #MeToo #consent #mysonisix’

However, many have disagreed and have labelled her as 'pathetic' and 'sad'.

One tweeter wrote: 'Do NOT confuse this rant with feminism - this is harmful to the cause in a catastrophic way, not helpful!

While another fumed: 'Hard to believe and very unfortunate that there are people acting as sad as @Hallmeister and her 'Sleeping Beauty should be banned' nonsense.

'Feel sorry for the kids having to dwell on this c***!' 

One woman said: 'This is getting b***** ridiculous. I never once watched sleeping beauty and thought 'goodness this is giving the wrong message about consent.

'Let's ban Cinderella as well whilst we're on the matter; poor gender roles and all that.' 

Another wrote: 'Are you actually being serious hahaha how pathetic #world has gone mad.' 

One Tweeter posted: 'Did the book or film make you believe you go around kissing anyone when you were a kid? Do you do that now because of the film? No? Then what is the problem!  

Sleeping Beauty was raped in original 17th Century tale

Italian writer Giambattista Basile’s original version of Sleeping Beauty, called Sun, Moon, and Talia, was written in the 17th Century.

In Basile's original dark work, Talia, the daughter of a lord, falls into a deep slumber after pricking her finger on a magical splinter.

The lord cannot bear the thought of burying his beloved daughter and decides to leave her to rest in one of his estates.

One day a king is led into the estate and falls is enchanted by Talia's beauty.

He tries to awake her, but after failing to do so, he carries her to a bed and has sex with her while she sleeps.

The king then leaves Talia, who falls pregnant and gives birth to twins, a boy and a girl, all while still asleep.

She only awakes when one of her children mistakenly sucks the magical splinter out of her finger.
