China Reprimands 27 Officials for “Tragically Ugly ” Illustrations in School Textbook...

[Fred Bloggs]

The illustrations do seem quite a bit over the top for a children\'s math textbook of all things. What were they thinking...

To say the responsible parties were reprimanded is an understatement in China:
\"Education authorities specified 27 individuals, including the president of the publishing house, as having “neglected their duties and responsibilities,” in a statement released on August 22. Punishments have been issued, in the form of demerits, which can affect a Communist party member’s standing and future employment. The editor-in-chief and the head of the maths department editing office were also demerited and fired, and the illustrators and designers were “dealt with accordingly,” in unspecified ways.\"

The real sin is the round eyes.

Right, those children all look Caucasian, and one little girl has blonde hair.
