"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."

I have to wonder if this is just a collection of the documents or if there is commentary in the book that is questionable. Sorry, I can't jump to the conclusion that they are talking about the documents themselves.

In fact, it is a straight reprint of unaltered documents with no commentary. The company Wilder Pubs self-describes as a "publish-on-demand vendor of works in the public domain". The warning appears to be a boilerplate that is applied to all works that are older than a certain cutoff date. It has been found on their copies of The Federalist Papers by Alexander Hamilton and on The Great Heresies by Hilaire Belloc.

Judging by their behavior, they have appointed themselves the PC police.
