The changes made from the 1960 version of this classic children’s book, in order to appease social justice warriors, is offensive.
In an attempt to be gender inclusive, the pc police added a bow to the already gender neutral animals.
What does this do? What does this say?
Why can’t the depictions in 1960 be either a man or a woman?
On the cover they took out the policeman and changed it to police officer, putting the character in a dress.
Why couldn’t they leave the original illustration? Or, better yet, why not put the police MAN in a dress?
Where is Islam???
On a less sarcastic note, this is pretty offensive.
They took out the cowboy. There are no more cowboys in 2017. (Couldn’t they have just removed the gun? You know that this was 90% of why “cowboy” offended them.)
Notice, too, that a musician is merely an idiot that can slap 2 cymbals together.
I’m shocked it wasn’t a dirtbag in a drum circle.
One of the few additions, rather than subtractions, was the word “cockpit.”
I’m trying to not be too cynical.

The pistol-packen Republican elephant was removed? Drat!
If they wanted to be more accurate, “jet passenger plane” should have been changed to “jet cargo plane.”
It’s 2017 FFS, ‘passenger’ HA! Cattle get better treatment.
On the airplane one they still have the passengers sitting in the back of the plane, and EVERYONE knows that’s RACIST! (I’m triggered!)
LOL they took out “handsome pilot” and added “pilot”! And the flight attendant looks like she’s wearing a dressing gown 😛
Makes me want to puke
Who is or was the illustrator?
I never saw any cocks (just pilots) in any of the cockpits on F4 Phantoms that I worked on as a plane captain when I was in the Navy. And I suppose plane capt. has got to go to since it denotes rank or privilege by learning how to be a plane capt. I hate the left, sooner or later they intend to ban to ban all words so that no one will know anything, good luck with that assholes. The new asshole being represented by *.
Introducing the most pervasive and sub-rosa social bending game ever. Revisionist Media! Fun for the whole family! We’ll leave nothing untouched. Just watch.
Someone is sitting over a monitor looking at scanned images checking off which is naughty or nice for the Great Leap. And getting paid for it, comrade.
OMG the plane has a right wing, how horrible. Will they now call it the starboard wing like the military does? And the left wing is the port wing.
Native/Indian/Indigenous people don’t fit the socialist narrative, so they’re erased from a children’s book. Ethnicity gets in the way when marxists have an agenda to homogenize as a way to gain control.
Is port a type of wine or a place where you harbor ships? I love the English language, it has so many meanings for different words. This is why we need to be literate people so we know the meanings and sometimes different meanings for words.
My friend is a pilot and says they are called ‘Drivers’ now not pilots
He drives an executive jet.
Weird
Bill, OMGosh, seriously? Plane DRIVER???!!!??? What the heck is the point of that? Holy mackerel, that’s just flat out nonsensical! Dang!
“Where is Islam?” Well, they added Taxi Driver as one of the “professions”, didn’t they?
This is not funny. I loved the Richard Scarry books when I was a kid and now they are going to do unspeakable things that I hold or once held dear. Go and get original copies of this book or make copies if you have one or know of someone who has one or more of these books. This is it, 1984 and Brave New World have occurred and the responses here say that everyone thinks this is funny!
If they want it updated to today’s reality, they should have tyrone going through the luggage.
Anybody remember this one:

I don’t how many ever read the Little Red Hen book. The entire moral of the story was if you don’t work you don’t eat. I always loved that book.
I bought it for my grandson one day when I saw it in the store. I didn’t think to read it before I bought it. Started reading it to him and started realizing how they had changed it. Changed the entire moral of the story by her sharing the damn bread with the lazy bums.
My children loved his books! Richard Scarry died in 1994. Is he rolling over in his grave?
