Ian Fleming’s James Bond Novels to Be Edited to Remove Material Deemed Offensive Following the news that edited versions of many of Roald Dahl’s novels are being released to shield modern readers from language that was deemed offensive, the estate of another iconic British novelist is following suit. According to a new report in The Sunday Telegraph, new editions of Ian Fleming’s original James Bond novels that omit offensive passages are set to be released this spring by Ian Fleming Publications. The report claims that Fleming’s estate worked with “sensitivity readers” to flag and remove what they see as language that reflects outdated attitudes about race. www.yahoo.com/entertainment/ian-fleming-james-bond-novels-210118076.html |

I think that we do need to re examine some of the literature we've been exposed to. Some people don't mind certain literature to be redone or censored when that literature is something that portrays people like them negatively. I respect your view but my opinion is that Ian Flemings book are geared towards adults and probably shouldn't be in school libraries... The way I see it is I wouldn't want hieroglyphics from ancient worlds changed because they may talk negatively about different races or women... My opinion is different when it comes to new literature however... |

I am sure that you believe that this is some noble thing, but it is censorship. It is changing the narrative of the time, rather than preserving it and using it to have further conversations. It is wrong regardless of who does it or why. |

Yes, let's start with the Communist Manifesto and remove all the garbage and nonsense from it. After that you'd have an easy 1-2 page read. Win Win! |
