More PC Whitewashing

Richard Scarry's Best Word Book Ever gets a facelift.

Need to update a kids' book for modernity? No problem: just put Dad in the kitchen, change the police officers to women and the schoolteachers to men, and ditch any milkmen, "pretty stewardesses," and Wild West-style Indians. And if you want a better ratio of women, just add hair-bows.

Is nothing sacred?
