About that warning label on the reprint of the Constitution (and other documents from the Founding Era).

ADVERTISEMENTS
"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."

Why a warning label?
Had you heard of Wilder Publications before? It's PR, plain and simple.
It will help young people get into something they might otherwise reflexively reject.
It's a cute way to get parents thinking about discussing the Founding documents with their kids.
The Founding documents deserve (and invite!) critique, especially on the subject of equality.
These documents live and evolve and it's good to cue readers to interpret them appropriately.
Here's the edition for liberals to buy. They can see that it irks conservatives.
