TAR: Info about Racism/Controversy in Babar

["Shelley L. Paul" <sbpaul@MINDSPRING.COM>]

Hi. Due to certain interesting school politics, my kindergarten classes are
slated to study Babar books for an entire semester next year. I have heard
rumblings about Babar controversy, and am rereading the books and doing
some research myself before opening my mouth, but wanted to ask what you
all know/think about it, because this is the most powerful resource I know!
I don't want to be an alarmist, but do want to offer an educated view...
Thanks in advance!!
