When people talk about “woke”, this is exactly the kind of thing they are talking about.

People on the left are apoplectic about banning books for kids, yet here they are literally rewriting them. That is every bit as bad as what they claim is happening with banning books.

The worst edits IMO are the ones just marked removed

Most litterature doesn't last for many centuries until the language is so outdated that laypeople find it difficult to read without translation. It will then be translated, adding a layer of interpretation. All translations have that layer from the very start.

Yet the original versions are still around for those who prefer them.

Is it not okay to be able to pick a 2023 version, or a 1960s version depending on your own preferences?

How is that nearly as bad as banning a book?

The only problem I have with changes like this is if there's a lack of transparency, which I would to some degree agree is the case here.
