Summary/Abstract: The document examines the shift from hypersensitivity to insensitivity in addressing unobvious topics in children's literature. It discusses the increased sensitivity of teachers and parents towards complex literary texts and the ensuing debates on social media. The text highlights controversial works, such as Jana Bodnárová's "Film o černošskej neveste" and Ľubomír Feldek's "Stratený zverinec," which have sparked discussions about racism and the impact on children's attitudes towards animals. The document also explores the role of censorship and the protective instincts of parents, as well as the literary competence required to appreciate such texts. It emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and the potential benefits of discussing challenging topics in educational settings. The study concludes by advocating for quality pre-service teacher training to handle these sensitive issues effectively.
