The whole point of Roald Dahl's children's books is to be enjoyed by children, not middle aged (small c) conservatives. These aren't works of Great Western Art(tm), but works of fun and whimsy meant to entertain and delight. I want a world where as many children as possible can continue read and fall in love with and be inspired by Dahl's stories and ideas. Losing that would be far worse than any imagined loss these minor changed might bring.
