Miss America Scraps Swimsuit Competition: “Women Will No Longer Be Judged On Appearance”

”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.””
