I think Bowdlerising children's books isn't really a problem, but anything aimed at a more sophisticated audience; 14-15yo and up; should not be edited at all.

I was mainly thinking on the context of kids books, I the a lot of these at the moment.

Oh ok, that's a bit different. I think it's okay. Young children lack the ability to contextualise things like racism or misogyny.
