All the people here saying "I don't get what the big deal with the swear words is" are far more stupid than the teachers who went and got the changes made so they could actually use the damn book in their classrooms. When millions of people have some harmless feeling you think is irrational, the thing to do is work around it, not whine about it on Hacker News.

Yes we should cover statues and paintings , and rewrite books so that some people don't be offended. Yes it is really a good plan, submit to the beliefs of some people and change reality so that it's nicer to them.
