The Little Red Schoolbook
- The Little Red Schoolbook
"The Little Red Schoolbook" was a controversial publication written by two Danish schoolteachers, Soren Hansen and Jesper Jensen in 1969. The book was translated into many languages in the early 1970s.[BBC Radio 4 - In Living Memory - [http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/inlivingmemory/pip/62r6s/ The Little Red Schoolbook] 18 June 2008] ]The book encouraged young people to question societal norms and helped young people to do this. Out of 200 pages, it included 20 pages on sex and 30 on drugs, including alcohol and tobacco. Other topics included adults as paper tigers, the duties of teachers, discipline, examinations, intelligence and different schools.
Due to the subject matter and its targeted audience of schoolchildren, a number of politicians in many countries criticised the book, fearing that the book would erode the moral fabric of society and be an invitation for anarchy in schools [ [http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/collection/database/?irn=354431 2005/214/1 Book, Australian Edition 'The little red schoolbook', Powerhouse Museum, Ultimo, New South Wales, Australia] ] It was banned in France and Italy, and in the UK, the section on sex suffered a number of cuts before it could be published.
The book's title was the inspiration for the title of the Momus album "The Little Red Songbook". [ [http://imomus.livejournal.com/381418.html Click Opera - Fuck your way to the revolution] ]
