Publishing Company Under Fire for Putting Warning Label on the U.S. Constitution

I thought I had mentioned this insulting far-Left rubbish before but I can't see where I did that so better late than never:

"A small publishing company is under fire after putting warning labels on copies of the U.S. Constitution, Declaration of Independence and other historical documents.

Wilder Publications warns readers of its reprints of the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, Common Sense, the Articles of Confederation, and the Federalist Papers, among others, that “This book is a product of its time and does not reflect the same values as it would if it were written today.”

The disclaimer goes on to tell parents that they "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 warning seems to be offending more people than the documents themselves. Amazon.com’s customer reviews of Wilder’s copy of the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Articles of Confederation show an overwhelming number of people speaking out against the disclaimer, describing it as “insulting,” “sickening” and “frankly, horrifying.”

Almost all of the reviews discussing the disclaimer end with the same thought: don't buy from this publisher.

Wilder publications is a small print-on-demand company run by an eccentric science fiction writer, Warren Lapine. The offensive text seems most likely to be the work of Mr Lapine himself.

The firm also has a list of Christian books but, as far as I can tell, they are well outside the Christian mainstream -- Swedenborg and the like.

All of Mr Lapine's previous publishing ventures appear to have gone broke so I think Wilder publications is headed the same way
