A working group? For what? Expel every single one of those vandals, throw the photo in the garbage, and place the Shakespear portrait back on the wall.
“replaced with a photograph of Audre Lorde,” Will they be quoting HER in 400 years? No she will be an * if she is Lucky.
Shakespeare is arguably the pre-eminent literary figure in the English language, and they’ve chucked him for someone that no one has heard of. So, by being “more inclusive,” they have in reality become less so. A**holes. Totalitarians. Liars. Scum.

In other words, an angry communist that was a sexual deviant..
I will be anxiously awaiting Camille Paglia’s response.
as I understood the argument, the students were protesting the worship of a white man while overlooking who can guess they would push forward.
You do have a point. However in today’s polarized black actors world, your concept doesn’t hold water.
I called Shakespeare and asked for a response to this insult. His reply to the SJW’s:
“Thou errant earth-vexing scullians! Rogues, thou hast liv’d too long. Show your sheep-biting faces, and be hanged an hour! Thou froward onion-eyed malt-worms! “
How, exactly, does an “African American” writer “represent a diverse range of writers” any more than Shakespeare does?
—Because “diverse” doesn’t mean diverse anymore. It means “in a category favored by the Left”, which Shakespeare is not.
A future Starbucks employee, of course. (Barnes and Noble now only accepts PhDs in English.)
Weren't there some who said the real Shakespeare was a woman, posing as a man? In that case they're sexist, or trans-phobic!
Romeo and Juliet: West Side Story
Chosen only because they were a black lesbian communist. The content of their worker is not as important as checking off those diversity boxes!
“Audre Lorde... was...a writer, feminist, womanist, lesbian, and civil rights activist.”
Wow! The Quinfecta!!
Forgot that one, I always wondered how the Sharks and Jets would fare against the Crips or Bloods. I suspect that it would be what usually happens when you bring a knife to a gunfight.
Was Shakespeare supposed to be African? Was it wrong for him to have been born white?
Or bring a dance to a knife fight ;)
Why aren’t the juvenile delinquents being expelled?
The “adults” in charge are pathetic.
Mostly because being an "actor" was such a disreputable profession that no "lady" would participate. An actor was barely one step off the social ladder from being a hooker.
I propose that our society would be healthier if we still had the same social stigma attached.
