Children's Book Pulled For Flawed Depiction Of Slavery
Scholastic has pulled their title A Birthday Cake For George Washington, a picture book about Washington's slaves proudly preparing for his birthday party, due to many parents' complaints that it misinforms children by romanticizing the relationship house slaves historically had with their masters. What do you think?

This is a huge disservice to kids who want to learn the history of George Washington's birthday cake.
