Books by the acclaimed children's author Roald Dahl, creator of such classics as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The Witches, and James and the Giant Peach, have been censored by the publisher, Puffin, after consulting with Inclusive Minds, a "collective for people who are passionate about inclusion, diversity, equality and accessibility in children's literature," according to their website.
You who are woke? You are absolutely ridiculous. George Orwell nailed you more than 70 years ago.
Pathetic.

Critics are accusing the British publisher of Roald Dahl’s classic children’s books of censorship after it removed colorful language from works such as “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and “Matilda” to make them more acceptable to modern readers.
The word “black” was removed from the description of the terrible tractors in 1970s “The Fabulous Mr. Fox.” The machines are now simply “murderous, brutal-looking monsters.”
You wokesters have got to be kidding.
And, I was just telling po yesterday that woke people have no sense of humor. Bang on!
