Nothing about these elided Wrinkle in Time passages were especially controversial, then or now. Other parts of Wrinkle in Time, in particular mentions of Jesus as sort-of coequal with other artists and scientists or Buddha, or its not-quite-Christian mysticism, have sometimes run afoul of some religious parents' groups. But a few generic warnings to the effect that "craving total safety can be dangerous"? That's pretty much common wisdom, in any American era, and doesn't trigger claims of insult or depravity.
