From "Trigger warning slapped on Harry Potter for ‘outdated attitudes’/Students at the University of Glasgow are also being warned about Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll and The Treasure Seekers by Edith Nesbit" (London Times).
Maybe college students need to be warned to move on beyond children's books.

Coleridge, mostly a moral philosopher and op-ed essayist, mocked "moral discoveries."
Up next on U-Gov Glasgow's University Radio 100 -
'Wet Ass Pussy.'
Rowling violated the first rule of social liberal club.
"Maybe college students need to be warned to move on beyond children's books."
LOL. Yes.
Ha! A pussy parade. Cats in hats.
So, using leftist logic, these are now banned books?
Anyway, clever way to get the masses to read them by telling them not to.
"Trigger Warning" - df: Those in need of a pacifier, a burp blankie, a safe space, and a gulag officer to arrest the guilty offender. How dare you!
While the triggered carve "Hey Fascist, catch" on their bullets.
Universities cannot die fast enough.
Move beyond children's books, you say?
Leftist college students hardest hit.
Harry Potter was the series that launched a 1000 ships.
Harry Potter started a lot of things that made people mad.
Maybe in the near future, copies of Harry Potter available in the EU will be mostly redacted, except for the parts that include Dolores Umbridge.
A professor teaching remedial math discovered that one of his college students did not know what a negative number was, and how to work with them.
I’m ready to take the whole of Gen-Z and start them over in kindergarten.
Back when the books hit the market - the Harry Potter series got kids and parents reading together. Oh no!
Leftists purged conservatives and religion from public institutions 50 years ago beause...?
The lefty's grandchildren either never learned about this or forgot why it mattered, and then reinvented rigid dogmatic moralizing with a left-wing woke coat of paint.
The true change leftists will soon stop trusting anyone over 30 and rebel once again. Conservative movements grow by adopting liberals who tire of change. Welcome Ronald Reagan. Welcome Donald Trump. Welcome Elon Musk. Welcome Tulsi Gabbard. Welcome JK Rowling. Welcome RFK Jr.
Serious Question for the UK..
Does the Bible require Trigger Warnings?
or do you just pretend it doesn't exist?
NOW, for the Kicker!
Does the Koran require Trigger Warnings?
or do you just accept that it's GOD's OWN WORD?
Alice in Wonderland is hardly a children's book. Lewis Carroll (ne CL Dodgson) was an Oxford maths professor. The book is full of allusions only adults would understand. Kind of like early Sesame Street. I could see a decent university-level course built around Alice and Carroll's other similar books.
Of course, Carroll also liked photographing young girls in various stages of undress. Which should make him a...hero? Villain? to postmodern academia. So hard to keep track - what party did he vote for? CC, JSM

Well i'd assume we'd want to work on that number's self image,
and help it understand its OWN identity.
WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?
To be dissing numbers and calling them NEGATIVE?
RACIST!
We all know this is about JK Rowling, not Harry Potter. That said, I'm not that familiar with the series, so can somebody point to what these lunatics consider "outdated attitudes, abuse and language"
People have been posting on X, that they are buying new copies of Harry Potter books; just to burn them..
JK Rowling's responce was: "Okay, do what you need to do"
(she gets royalties after all)
Face it. As a category YAF is just a very triggering enterprise.
I loved going to the midnight releases of the Harry Potter books.
My favorite memory, though, was sitting in Einstein’s Bagels with friends the morning after one of those releases. At the next table, a woman was sitting with her young son, who was already deep into the seventh book. She turned to us with this proud little smile and said, “We got it at midnight, and he’s been reading it ever since.”
It was so sweet.
Good story telling and Biblical morality = the Collective Universal Soviet left demand it be banned.
Thank you, Gilbar (9:03)
Rowling isn't anti-gay at all.
She is pro-Children. she is pro-female. She is anti child abuse. She is anti- men pretending to be women and bullying females in female spaces.
Oh no!
Self-loathing leftists adore Islamic males.
Trigger warning slapped on Harry Potter for ‘outdated attitudes’...
Sounds micro- or even mega-aggressive.
