They're not sjw's.  Just a shitty publishing house.  Their amazon product catalog is encompassed thusly

Quote:Self-Help
Christianity
Nostradamus
Classics
Children's/Young Adult
SF, Fantasy, Horror, Mystery
African American Heritage
Native American
Philosophy
Eastern
Tesla
Which, if you look at it, is pretty much a running stereotype of a particular consumer. You'll find that statement on the copyright page of anything they publish. They're not making a statement.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Perhaps, but they are caving into the stupor of political correctness.

Yup, just the fact they're not letting the reader decide for themselves what they think of a work and assume they need to be told what is or isn't acceptable thought isn't my cup of tea. That catalog does sound like a reading list for Triggerlypuff that said Big Grin

Publishing Company Under Fire for Putting Warning Label on Constitution

"Walter Olson, senior fellow at the Cato Institute, says the company may be trying to ensure that oversensitive people don't pull its works off bookstore or library shelves....The warning seems to be offending more people than the documents themselves."

Next: Parental Advisory stickers on Beethoven's ninth.
I be damned if that stuff about all men becoming brothers doesn't sound like commie gay propaganda. Someone think of the children!!!

If you read Kant, you do it precisely to think about difficult moral and other philosophical issues. Bizarre
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
