i can't understand how the educated left don't see the atrocity of what they're initiating with this trend of rewriting classic literature. We've had so many examples of ideology rewriting the past...

I'm educated.

I'm well to the left of the centre right and extreme right that is the bulk of US politics.

( ie. I'm Australian, support national health services, minimum living wages, welfare safety nets, etc. )

I'm not rewriting classic UK literature .. and I doubt many of the political left in the UK care much about ths either.

Maybe the idealogical brush you're wielding here is a tad broad?

Didn't say you were rewriting it yourself. Only you didn't seem offended at all by that rewrite (which judging by your tone seems just about right).
