China censors 'Bible, 'God' from children's books: report
China is removing religious references from children's books, according to a watchdog group.https://www.foxnews.com/faith-values/china-bible-god-censor-children-bookThe Ministry of Education is censoring words like "Bible," "God," and "Christ" from classic children's stories designed to help middle schoolers "understand other cultures," Asia News reported.
The Communist Party government swapped out "Bible" in "Robinson Crusoe" written by Daniel Defoe for "book."
Chinese officials changed "when a star falls, a soul goes to be with God" in "The Little Match Girl" by Hans Christian Anderson to read: "when a star falls, a person leaves this world."
Asia News also notes censorship is happening at the university level, where professors have banned classics with religious references such as "The Count of Monte Cristo" by A. Dumas, "Resurrection" by Leo Tolstoy, and "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame" by Victor Hugo.
