We're just not trying hard enough.
Shakespeare was a gay Mormon African-American peace activist who was Robert E. Lee's lover and believed that the Earth is only 7000 years old.
Now THAT ought to do it.
It brings back memories of when I allowed my High schoolers to do author bios via google and Wiki.
they were all gay, controversial etc. and there were some laughs as I tried in vain to steer them away from the scandalous stuff.
They really cracked me up.
I knew the media/culture was attempting to pervert them.
I’d say, hey, are you guys reading the bios on the authors of the entertainment lit you’re reading?
No.
They did not even know the NAMES of authors they were reading.
No matter that one voluminous writer was a witch, publishing true sorcery (jkr) nor that they had just non admirable lifestyles which they were putting forth in their literature.
Nor that the private lives of the classic authors were not put into their works as an attempt to brainwash with an attempt to gain acceptance, as is the case now
