I think there's a difference between "these attitudes were of the times" and "this book presents these attitudes as natural, normal, and valid" and I think it does the latter. I mean, not to Dr. Seuss it, because the Wilder estate would never, but I think we can leave the people who love it with fond memories, but otherwise let it fade from prominent children's lit.

This. The views don't get challenged much. The books sort of hint that Mrs. Ingalls' views aren't very nice or accurate, but they don't quarrel with Mr. Ingalls' views even though they're still racist, just slightly less racist.

I would say it's a good way to talk to your child about racism and the way we treated the Native Americans, and how fucked up some people's views were, and how that let them just ignore what was going on.

But to each their own.
