Straight Line of the Day: What Else Could Be Considered Seditious in a Children’s Book?

Chinese Authorities Arrest Two Men for ‘Seditious’ Children’s Book
Fox News | 3/18/23 | Peter Aitken

Chinese authorities arrested two men who possessed a children’s book that officials labeled “seditious.”

Police and customs officers arrested the men, aged 38 and 50, on Mar. 13 after searching their homes and finding multiple copies of the book, which describes sheep holding back wolves from the village. The wolves want to take over a village and eat the sheep, pushing the sheep to fight back against them.

Authorities have interpreted the book as referring to Hong Kong and Beijing.

  1. Mary was a little lamb,
    Transgender she would go
    she wore a binder on her chest
    So the teets won’t show
    Mary changed her name to Larry,
    But all the farm did know,

    Larry would strut in chaps and leather,
    But found they shrunk in wet weather,
    One day Larry met sweetheart Sherry,
    Side by side they would stand,
    No matter how hard they wished and cried,
    There would never be… more baby lambs…
