Indianapolis Museum of Art Surrenders; Hardy Boys "Revised"
From the weekend Wall Street Journal. Indianapolis Museum of Art used "White" in a job description and can't apologize enough to the cultureless:

I don't agree that the job ad was poorly written. The "traditional, core White art audience" should be respected and catered to. POC, alphabet LGBTQ+ people are not "under-represented." Too many of them create "art" the rest of us don't want to see.
And it turns out that the beloved detectives, the Hardy Boys, along with Tom Swift and Nancy Drew, had their stories "revised" in 1959-60. I wonder if it would be legal to print the earlier editions of these works?
