The literary executor of Usula K. Le Guin is allowing changes to her YA/youth books

In this case, her executor is her son, so he does have firsthand knowledge of some of her thinking.

It's an interesting essay on a very tough issue, with good points and bad points - IMO. We've seen Road Dahl's publisher back off on updating his books and they've split their printing stream, still issuing original books under a different imprint. Ian Fleming's James Bond books are being revised to remove offensive language.

I find the second and third paragraphs before the end to be quite good and worth contemplation.
