https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2020/01/18/error-printed-lds-church/All that blather in the BoM and BoA about dark skin being a curse is no longer the "word and will of The Lord"™, but somebody in the publications department didn't get the memo.
Of course the BoM hammers repeatedly the idea that the Lamanites™ were cursed with a skin of darkness. It's kind of hard to read the BoM without that subject coming up. That's precisely why I think they have a long term goal of de-emphasizing the BoM and eventually ignoring it, like they do the BoA now.
They issued a "corrected" lesson manual online, but have not altered the print version. They could have scrapped the entire print run and redone it. Expensive, but compared to $100B, the cost would be a rounding error.
I feel for them. Nobody caught the "mistake" because all the old-school Mormons, which includes all the GAs and most of the employees, have a testimony that the dark skin really was a curse, and it did not occur to them that that it was now politically incorrect to admit that out loud.
Life is hard when your religion is founded on cultural BS.
