If I recall, Tarzan was about a boy who was lost in the jungle. I doubt it is racist, sexist or anything else. Liberals, it is a FICTIONAL CHARACTER. It couldn’t be done in reality.

"troubled by the possibility that nonwhite students would appear as apes onstage"
And that's racist because? I've never met or heard of a living person today comparing non-white people to apes. There was one guy about 100 years ago who did. Now everyone accepts that stereotype as though everyone believes it.

I think you are wrong about that.

You didn't get the message about the Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs. It was a play to promote polyandry (1 female many husbands) or a play promoting Pedophilia as the 7 dwarfs were teens... 😋
That was why it got passed by the PC Nannies...

Baiocco added that the parents were also troubled by the possibility that nonwhite students would appear as apes onstage.Forgive me, but I find that hilarious. Is that how they were cast in the play?

So tired of snowflakery. My kindergarten class performed Little Black Sambo. In blackface. People today would rend their clothes and gnash their teeth feigning offense.

I wonder if you have to gawa before you can ungawa. New York just banned gawa conversion therapy, so ungawa has been pushed to unsafe back alleys.

The reason for the abrupt change? Two parents complained about racism. The concerns were over the original story line behind Tarzan of the Apes'The inbred leftists have obviously never read the series of Tarzan books.

We need to make gawaing safe and rare.

Years ago, Kanadahar replaced 'straight dollar bills' with 'loonies'.
Oops! Here's a proper Canadian looney:
The Canadian loonie replaced the Canadian dollar bill in 1987. Another loonie was merely a fifteen year old for most of 1987. Little has changed.

Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs has been re-titled.

Little Black Sambo, in hard copy, is present in our children’s and future grandchildren a library. The girls love it.

I think Twelfth Night will be a problem too. Let me explain
Twelfth Night is by William Shakespeare. In the name William there are 7 letters. If you add 7 (William) to 12 (Twelfth Night) you get 19.
We all know of course that 19 is a racist number.
Louis Farrakhan from his speech at the million man march:
There in the middle of this Mall is the Washington Monument, 555 feet high. But if we put a one in front of that 555 feet, we get 1555, the year that our first fathers landed on the shores of Jamestown, Virginia, as slaves. In the background is the Jefferson and Lincoln Memorial. Each one of these monuments is 19 feet high. Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president, Thomas Jefferson the third president, and 16 and 3 make 19 again. What is so deep about this number 19? Why are we standing on the Capitol steps today? That number 19, when you have a nine, you have a womb that is pregnant, and when you have a one standing by the nine, it means that there’s something secret that has to be unfolded.

Is it racist if nonwhite students volunteer to play apes?
