Miss America Scraps Swimsuit Competition...

• https://www.zerohedge.com, By Tyler Durden

In the latest effort to signal as much virtue as possible, the Miss America beauty contest is scrapping its swimsuit and evening-gown section and will no longer be judged on physical appearance. Contestants will instead be asked to demonstrate their "passion, intelligence and overall understanding of the job of Miss America."

"We are no longer a pageant," Gretchen Carlson, the first former Miss America to be named chair of the Board of Trustees of the Miss America Organization, said on "GMA." "We are a competition."

"I could have never expected what would happen when I sued my former employer at Fox News for sexual harassment 22 months ago, but look what has happened," she said.

"Thousands of women have been inspired to know that they can stand up and speak up and their voices will be heard."

Carlson added, "If I've been a beacon of hope to any woman in that process, it has been worth it."
