Synopsis

“The Little Red Schoolbook?” Written by two Danes, the book sought to empower schoolchildren by having them question societal norms and fight for a better education system. 20 of its 200 pages included straight-up-and-down facts about sex and drugs. They were the pages that mattered. There were frank “how-to’s” on sexual acts using everyday profanities without apology. Drug facts were openly discussed. The book was non-judgemental, seeking to provide children with the information that adults had kept from them for years. And therein lay the anarchic rub.
