Making Updike politically correct …

… A Child's Calendar: John Updike's Vintage Children's Book, Updated to Celebrate Diversity | Brain Pickings. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

I have nothing against diversity – or for it for that matter. It seems to be nature's way. But I think the best way to "celebrate" it would be to take it for granted. Updating a book to make it conform to your ideological flavor fave strikes me as vulgar.
