Ah, yes....reminds me of my son's 1st grade Harcourt Brace reader, wherein the children depicted were of all colors (which is fine) but with a serious lack of white children (which is not fine). I felt like I was being hit over the head with race every time I opened the damn thing.

The final straw was when this same reader featured an Aesop's fable with a little bio on Aesop at the end of it, in which I discovered, to my surprise, that Aesop was an African storyteller. And all these years (preceding the PC era) I was led to believe that he was a Greek.

Now we're homeschooling and never going back.
