This is absolutely horrible.
Charlie Kirk summed this argument up simply and perfectly. Some ideas are just bad ideas and should not be taught to children and mushy minded teens.
WTH is the "limb difference" community?
The changes were made by the publisher, Puffin, and the Roald Dahl Story Company, now owned by Netflix, with sensitivity readers hired to scrutinise the text.The review began in 2020, when the company was still run by the Dahl family. Netflix acquired the literary estate in 2021 for a reported £500 million.
Sensitivities over Dahl’s stories were heightened when a 2020 Hollywood version of The Witches led to a backlash over its depiction of the Grand Witch, played by Anne Hathaway, with fingers missing from each hand.Warner Bros was forced to make an apology after Paralympians and charities said it was offensive to the limb difference community.

So they buy the company, pillage the text and make a woke miniseries? How nice.
As setting the text to fire and watching it burn was too much effort.
I say we go full “Weird Al” and rewrite THEIR stuff but with more satire, honest, sadistic, heinous ways. May have to ‘self publish’ but its worth a try.

I’ve got some noxious Palestine goo...

If you are wise you’ll read Babylon Bee!
What do you get when you go all “PC”?
A job with the Feds and an IQ of three.
The schools kids are at, taught by dumb proggy rats,
All learn about sex from a tranny named “Pat”!
With purple hair and septum rings!
Oompa loompa doompety da
If you’re a lefty, above the law
You will live as Hunter does too
Or like the Goofy, Loopy “President Poo”!
Doompety do!
