The silliest thing I have heard in a long time.

You're a little confused. Liberals don't ban books; conservatives do.

Well, then, Snow White will be next!

"But when the Queen tricks Snow White with an enchanted apple, only the magic of true love's kiss can save her" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0029583/

Interesting, though, that in the original story, how she was awakened is different than how the Disney movie portrays it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_White

"This time, the dwarfs are unable to revive Snow White. Assuming that she is dead, they place her in a glass casket.
After a short period of time, a prince traveling through the land sees Snow White. He strides to her coffin. Enchanted by her beauty, he instantly falls in love with her. The seven dwarfs succumb to his entreaties to let him have Snow White. The moment he lifts the coffin to carry it away, the piece of poisoned apple falls from between her lips and Snow White awakens saying "Where am I?" The Prince then declares his love for her and soon a wedding is planned."

Looking up the original story of Sleeping Beauty there is a different version in which "He finds Talia alive but unconscious, and "...gathers the first fruits of love." Afterwards, he leaves her in the bed and goes back to his kingdom. Though Talia is unconscious, she gives birth to twins."

Ok, that's more than just a kiss. At least the watered down version is what everyone reads and knows about. (Basile's narrative https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeping_Beauty)

Bans over current books with theses stories is over the top, though. Just ridiculous.
