We should ban all history that says stuff we don't like! That way we only remember how great everything has always been! No more Nazi's or wars! No more racism! No more slavery!

Have they begun editing out the parts of her book that they don't like yet? If not, that will be next. To create sanitized versions of history you have to make changes.


ETA - yep!

From the article above:

"In 1935's Little House on the Prairie, for example, Wilder described one setting as a place where "there were no people. Only Indians lived there." That description was changed in later editions of the book. "

They outta stop teaching history in school, since it will all change anyway!

This is why things like Project Gutenberg are so valuable, to maintain a readily accessible archive of original, unedited literature.

You hush your mouth!

You just wait, it's all gonna change!

Your name is a black line?

And I'll be there to educate people otherwise!

For the purpose of this site, yes it is.

Yep. the federalist papers on there as are some of my favorite childrens books that are public domain now.

They're already censorfying it

Until they cart you off to a reeducation camp for sensitivity training

Oh no! They are censoring the historians! That's the first step in controlling history!

Now all we have left is some odd number KE7 something or other. Maybe it is her prisoner number in the reeducation camp.

Looking it up, it seems that change was done with the author's explicit authorization. I don't really see an issue with the author of a book wanting to make a change to subsequent editions.
