All good points.

Yet, as they say, the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. Censoring books is dangerous, even when well-meaning.

Times and mores evolve, but to ensure that they do apace, we should not hide from view those of the past, even if they offend the present.

Because, what is accepted in the present, once offended, in the past. And it may yet offend, in the future.

Or, if I may be poetic:

Condemn,
But do not ban.
