I'm still waiting for the politically correct versions of nursery rhymes to take over and no longer will our children read such things as....

Mail carrier; fire fighter; police officer. Gender neutral terms DO exist and always have.

As for the nursery rhymes, well I guess someone will do it; they already did that to the Holiday Stories! -- the Bedtime Stories -- and Fairy Tales!
