Ok so this is a healthy reversal of the absolutely absurd. Reediting aka censoring by the publisher and a group called 'Inclusive Minds' would have not only original text and passages reworded/removed but even the addition lines that were never written by the author. That right there is some dangerous shat. We're seeing some assbackwards thinking pointed at literature as of late, Government used as a hammer and it's become quite the moralist banner for a certain Presidential candidate named Desantis.

Man... these are children's books FFS. Most of them decades old.

Forget slippery slopes. We have slipped off the slope and are freefalling off the side of the cliff.

Not only is NOTHING out of bounds... but groups like you describe are out there roaming the cultural landscape... scouring children's toys, books, product brands, and just about everything one can think of.

There must be some big, fat weight-challenged bonuses being dangled out there for those who identify the next "danger" to be censored.

When the Dr.Seuss thing happened I was sure that publishers were looking at Dr. Seuss books being forty nine out of the top fifty sellers on amazon and conservative buying them by the truckload thinking the libs were trying to cancel them when the Seuss estate were only doing this to avoid potential damage to the brand in future and the publishers thinking fuck, what do we have in our catalogues that is vaguely racist and could set off a sales bonanza if we announce we're changing it. I think in this case it's the publisher genuinely thinking that they're protecting the brand from future controversies but it's just ridiculous, isn't it.

DeSantis is going after Disney now:

If approved, the board will garner the power to manage the special district’s infrastructure, services, taxing authority, and more. DeSantis suggested Monday that the board might push for a say in Disney’s content if the corporation wants its tax-friendly home base to remain as is.
“When you lose your way, you gotta have people that are going to tell you the truth,” DeSantis said. “All these board members very much would like to see the type of entertainment that all families can appreciate.”

This might help him win the nomination but it's not going to play well in the election.

There is a problem with liberals and their cultural agenda. A lot of it is illiberal and the campaigns to block people speaking at colleges or trying to get professors fired because they're teaching something people don't agree with or some of the stuff happening in political circles (google David Shor being fired) is riduculous and ultimately self defeating but it does just seem to be restricted to intra-lefty fratricide (I would probably get cancelled for using fratricide instead of the gender neutral term eh). In the wider would it seems to have claimed a few victims who by and large deserved it, Harvey Weinstein, that ginger comedian, a tv presenter or three come to mind. This is not the libs enforcing their beliefs on the entire country although it's painted that way for political advantage and profit.

On the other side you have fuckers like Ron who are reacting to what looks like liberal cultural domination by using the power of the government, which is antithetical to everything conservatives are supposed to stand for, to enforce their ideology on the public. It looks like a lot of the conservative movement is fully on board with this too. I can only imagine the reaction if Biden was trying to legislate lefty ideology and enforce it onto the country.

"Native American group threatens Washington Commanders with boycott over name change"

Gee... imagine that.

A little background here for the uninformed.

So apparently, the PC police and woke mob had been hounding the National Football League (NFL) in recent years to get the name changed on the Washington Redskins franchise. The Redskins... supposedly around the 6th oldest team in the NFL. Formed in 1932, and steeped in tradition and history. After a huge amount of pressure, the Redskins' ownership caved, and ditched the Redskins name and logo. Tellingly, the owner decided not to adopt a team right away... and the team became simply the Washington Football Team (WTF, only slightly reordered). They let that absurdity stew for a while, until finally in February of last year, they changed the team name to Commanders.

Diehard football fans still call the team the Washington Redskins (including me). I've always felt that token changes in team names and pancake syrup brands are merely superficial brain farts thought up by good ol' white boys wanting to pat themselves on the back after "a job well done." Change a team name or a pancake syrup brand... you've solved all the racism problems in the U.S. It's as pathetic as it sounds.

Native American groups had always voiced their opposition to changing the name of the Redskins. Probably realizing, as most people with more than three brain cells, that changing a team name doesn't address or solve their problems. But the PC police said "Move aside, Native Americans. This doesn't concern you."

Now we have this. Damn Native Americans just won't leave well enough alone.

Always getting in the way of what is being done for their own good.

Putting Band-Aids where a tourniquet should go. Typical of self-back-patting PC warriors.

This is yet ANOTHER reason why society is going to shit.

Didn't you get the memo? Just be positive lol. We aren't allowed to talk about negative stuff anymore.
