> As we began work on the new editions, I received an unexpected note from the editor: “I’m writing to propose several minor changes to the language… to remove words that now have a different connotation than when the books were originally published.” The words in question were “lame,” “queer,” “dumb,” and “stupid,” a total of seven instances across three books.
>After deep breaths, and with Ursula’s own revisionism in mind, I contacted a disability rights attorney, a youth literature consultant, a racial educator, and some kids.
>I would say that kids intuit and accept better than adults that language is constantly in flux, as are human sensibilities. Not condescending to young readers also means trusting that they can glean meaning from a textual whole, not just from specific words.
imagine bowdlerizing your mom's works to please some dumb bitch of an editor

Why did he need to consult a "racial educator" for permission to say dumb and stupid?

No one, NO ONE, deserves to have their work raped by lefties more than a lefty like Le Guin. Bring it the fuck on.

Isn't it funny that the harder you try to please the libtarded orthodoxy, the less thankful they will be once the zeitgeist moves past you? Nobody treats yesteryear's lefties with less respect than today's and especially tomorrow's lefties.
