She’s definitely lacking in understanding the effect of reading human drama themes and Shakespearean historical contexts. Theatrical constructs and command of the language are also among the lessons...of course if the students are too stupid or unwilling, then maybe she’s right.....

A lefty by any other name would smell as foul.
But I’d hit it, a pretty piece of flesh—a touch, tomorrow you would find me a grave man ....

Proof that the white man stole the African space program: Pretty sure that could work. I know of a few people that I would like to volunteer for tests.

This is really so sad. It breaks my heart to see a supposedly educated person dismiss the greatest dramatist in literature as "some old white guy". My gods, woman, have you no soul? Are you so willing to deny to others the soul-stirring joy of experiencing Henry V, Richard II, Hamlet, and the Scottish Play?
If this "teacher" isn't ^%$#-canned ASAP, then the public education system in this land of the free is truly broken beyond repair.
Has 1984's MiniTruth arrived after a delay of 31 years?

She doesn’t want to teach Shakespeare because she knows most of her students cannot read any of it and cannot be made to understand the vocabulary even if read to them and explained but that doesn’t sound well for her or her school system or her union so she proffers a socially acceptable “reason.”

Without looking where the gal is from I’m going to venture that she’s a 2nd or 3rd generation flower child from California at some point.

Just looked and she is from California. You can.’t mistake the after work toke for hours until your brain cells are dead look...: )

To paraphrase something I read somewhere once “She is an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.
Now I’ve got to go back an re-read Othello. Somewhere along the line I got some weird idea that he was Moor.

She confesses that she has a personal disinterest in reading stories written in an early form of the English language that I cannot always easily navigate. In other words, she's stupid.
