The Language Police

MrDave writes "Women cannot be depicted as caregivers or doing
household chores ... Men cannot be lawyers or doctors or plumbers.
They must be nurturing helpmates ... Old people cannot be feeble or dependent; they must jog or repair the roof ... Children cannot be shown as disobedient or in conflict with adults. Those are just some of the guidelines used by textbook publishers according to "The Language Police" by Diane Ravitch. For a review of the book see:
