"Mary Poppins' Age Rating Raised to PG Over Discriminatory Language"
The British Board of Film Classification has raised the age rating of the beloved children's musical "Mary Poppins" to PG in Britain due to the use of "discriminatory language," specifically an offensive racial slur used twice in the film. This decision reflects a trend of recontextualizing and reclassifying films from past eras to align with modern cultural norms and mores. The film, originally rated "U" in 1964, has been reclassified to PG, reflecting concerns about exposing children to discriminatory language and behavior.
