It's a minor oversight in the broad scheme of massive amounts of church curricula. Get over it.

Oversight. That's optimism.

you really think so? I don't obsess about it. Mike brought it up. I responded. I highly doubt it was an "oversight".

When was the last time the curricula was updated, do you know? I don't. Do you have any examples in the last, say, 15 years (roughly Hinckley's presidency) where these kinds of views were publicly reiterated?

I expect someday in the future the YM/YW manuals will get the same kind of treatment the Priesthood/RS manuals did a decade ago, and the Missionary Guide got recently.

Until then ... big freakin' whoop.

With all the minutia that is attended to in FP letters, you would think something like this could be addressed NOW.

I'm not sure who I would have more in common with but if I had them both at the same time it would fulfill this fantasy I have.

That might explain your climbing technique straddled between those two skinny girls.

If they addressed every little thing you whine about, there'd be no time left over to actually run the church.

Your fantasy should include Michael Jackson's "Black or White" playing in the background.

How many manuals do you think the church ships annually? Do you really think the church is so careless as to have what you call an "oversight" when it comes to perceived racism? The manuals are public and are the official curriculum of the church. These views are publicly reiterated every year during lesson 31.

I don't know when the curricula was updated but I am sure that the brethren are very aware of what is being taught to the youth of the church. Yes it does bother me. I don't sit around and dwell on it, but it is indicative of a problem, especially when I doubt the brethren would plead ignorant on the quote and the use of it in the Church's curriculum.
