What Fun It Is To Bake Cakes And Not Have Basic Human Rights
-
It turns out that a children's book that features George Washington's slaves shown as happy and smiling is a hard sell; Scholastic has pulled "A Birthday Cake for George Washington," about a slave cook for the President making said treat and showing the slaves as happy. No attempt at explanation -- "it's honoring the slaves!" -- is going to fix that. Book recalled. (New York Times)
