Well she's stupid if that's her conclusion after critically reflecting on it. Lol a ban? Dumbest solution to a nonproblem I can think of. Now if you're actually that bothered by it, a smarter solution would be to then teach children about consent after the story. Banning it is not only impossible, but has no benefit whatsoever.

The story already exists, the kiss is part of the story. And there's actually no need to argue it's "OK" because it isn't a problem in any way shape or form. Trying to label the kiss as nonconsensual sexual contact or going so far as to argue that this story encourages and promotes rape culture is only possible if you're trying to find something wrong with it by ignoring context that contradicts your claims as well as altering the actual story to fit your narrative.

It's just like people who claim beauty and the beast promotes beastiality. There's no "there" there.

Well let's take some time to look at what she's actually saying, because she isn't saying to outright ban it. She's asking that it should be taken out of the curriculum for young kids. She even goes on to say:
I dont think taking Sleeping Beauty books out of circulation completely would be right. I actually think it would be a great resource for older children, you could have a conversation around it, you could talk about consent, and how the Princess might feel."
