My take is that instead of altering the original the material should be used for teaching cultural history on the side, letting the kids see how things were and why things have changed, letting them learn that attitudes change over time, instead of pretending that current culture has always existed and always will.
^That. Supply footnotes as required and let the rest be.
As a kid I always valued educative (info dump) and explanatory footnotes in my adventure books
