Yes and no. I have no problem with dialing back/deleting racist language and mocking the Oompa Loompas and the way he referred to languages that originated in Africa. But I do wish they would have left the rest alone. After all, kids do refer to one another in blunt terms. That is part of why they still appeal to children.
I had NO problem with the Seuss family ceasing to make certain books available. I had a blazing row with one of my parents about it. That parent was convinced the publishers were arm-twisted by some huge outside force. Nope. The family wanted them to cease. Plus they hadn’t been asked to publish more than about a hundred copies for several years prior. Several titles hadn’t been published at all for a decade or so.
I still like the idea of kids wondering if Veruca & her father perished or not. It’s like the question about Schrödinger’s cat. It keeps them guessing.
