"A product of it's time." "Does not reflect the same values as it would have if it were written today." "Parents might wish to discuss with their children how views on race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity and interpersonal relations have changed since this book was written before allowing them to read this classic work."

The classic work(s)? The Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, Common Sense, the Articles of Confederation, and the Federalist Papers. According to Wilder publications those documents for children need a warning label. Per Fox News,  a screen shot that accompanies said documents:

Unbelievable. File this one in the 'Orwellian story of the day' file. I wonder if we will one day face the day in America where our Founding documents are outlawed? Because essentially they represent a belief system that is diametrically the opposite of our current state of government. Hate speech?

The encouraging thing about this this story though comes from Amazon.com reviewers of in response to the Wilder Publications warning label. Here's a few:

By Graham Bradley  -

             

        

The Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and our other founding  documents are not controversial, as Wilder would have us believe. Here  is the text from the disclaimer that Wilder puts in this book:

This book is a product of its time and does not reflect the same  values as it would if it were written today. Parents might wish to  discuss with their children how views on race, gender, sexuality,  ethnicity, and interpersonal relations have changed since this book was  written before allowing them to read this classic work."

This is so offensive I can't even think straight. Literary  censorship is already stupid enough as it is, but to add FUNCTIONING,  FOUNDING LEGAL DOCUMENTS to the long list of items that are  "controversial" is total garbage. This will not stand.

Do not buy from Wilder. TOR has a version available that is correct  and doesn't have this bogus nonsense attached to it. You fail, Wilder.

Progressives, liberals, statists - whatever you want to call them - are  now trying to infect our great nation's foundational documents. Wilder  Publications seeks to "nudge" us all back into the loss of freedoms that  our founders fled.  Individual liberties, and a limited government  designed to protect those liberties, are now under attack from the  people at Wilder Publications who are trying to pose the core  foundational elements of our great nation as some kind of irrelevant  historical artifact.  BOYCOTT anything from Wilder Publications.

The Constitution is harmful for your psyche?   (Maybe if  you're a "liberal")

I can understand why Wilder chose to put a disclaimer on this  publication.  Reading it will make you question the current state of  government in this country, and really get it that the Federal  Government is 20 times the size it should be.

And then there's that pesky 10th Amendment that nobody but the TB  "kooks" want to talk about, and that General Welfare clause that is used  to invalidate the rest of the document (it's like their version stops  at that sentence, and you don't get the part where it tells you it  applies to 18 specified powers).

Buy it, read it, understand the words, and look at your government  in a different light.

Share it with your State Legislators, let them know that Washington  has stolen their authority, and that the very existence of the states as  entities are at danger.

I particularly appreciate Conservative Register above - I can understand why Wilder chose to put a disclaimer on this publication. Reading it will make you question the current state of government in this country, and really get it that the Federal Government is 20 times the size it should be.

I disagree just a bit - I think the Federal government is 30x the size it should be.
