I think it would be better to teach that antisemitism is wrong and that texts still existed as they were to children who already get treated like they're too stupid no matter what; rather than paint the fake rosy picture that Nothing Was Ever Problematic Ever Kids! The Past Isn't Prejudice In Any Way Ha Ha, People Just Had Silly Disagreements That We All Got Over, Its Fine :)))

Ah, the false dichotomy fallacy! Yup, there's literally no way to teach kids about antisemitism other than reading them books that are supposed to be fun and teach good lessons like "reading is great" and "if your birth family is shitty you can find a new one" and explaining to them that the books also contain such and such thing which is antisemitic and that this is bad.

No you're right - lets sanitize the past. Nothing but good things will come from that.

For real. As a kid, I went out of my way to avoid anything abridged. If I wanted to know a story, I didn't want someone dumbing it down or changing it ways that would make me look stupid if I talked to someone who knew how it really went.

Has anyone made note of how much time the kids whose parents went with "sanitized everything!!" waste when they get to university and are expected to know what's actually in famous stories? Because, the thing about doing stuff as a kid is that it either adds to what you know as an adult, or it adds to what you have to go back and re-learn as an adult.

And this used to mostly be a problem kids had if they grew up in ultraconservative sects. Now, the left has decided to inflict it broadly. Because apparently the backlash of teenagers going "I see. You LIED to me," is just something they had to have.

Probably not much. Most university professors want kids to be able to discuss the thematic elements of a story and understand the basic plot points. Same goes for pop cultural references to the stories, which tend to be fairly high-level anyway.

Honestly, I'd be more concerned about the kids that get to university thinking that anyone who can't tell you exactly how many times Charles Dickens called Fagin "the Jew" in the original edition of Oliver Twist is deprived.
