Shakespeare wrote 400+ years ago. Of course, he would not have had the opportunity to experience the enlightenment of the 21st century. /s
They will make the same argument against any British or American writer whose works constitute part of the Western canon. They are not interested in educating students. They are not interested in giving them literature that is rigorous and requires them to work and think. They are not interested in working or thinking themselves. The end result of their efforts will be students who are as academically-deprived and culturally- ignorant as they are themselves.
Give the kids a steady diet of whining feminist and POC racist writings, LGBTQ porn, and hip-hop lyrics. They will be well-equipped to function in 21st century America.
All communists should be shot, and the sooner the better.
Let the first sinless teacher throw the first stone.
Hey, get some 17th century African playwright that produced 30+ plays then.
Oh wait, there isn’t one?
These bitches are supposed to be educated but they hate Caucasians. I think they are more retarded than educated.
The teachers in favor of this are too stupid to teach Shakespear.
If they don’t want the English version of MACBETH, how about the Japanese version, THRONE OF BLOOD.

Maybe no KING LEAR so how about RAN?

Great classics transcend cultural norms.
A favorite trick of the cultural marxists is judging the past by the standards of today. And if they can’t do that? they just make up more stupid crap.
That was quick...
I just said a couple of days ago Shakespeare would be next...That was in a thread on Chaucer...
I wonder what they will do about Othello ???
That main character is black...but he murders a white woman...that has to be a good thing...
I’m sure they’d want to keep The Merchant of Venice...after all Shylock is their idea of the typical Jew...greedy blood thirsty...
Paging Omar and the Squad...
Environmentalist use Climate Change Theory to grow White Supremacy. Everything the UniParty wants we should tie to White Supremacy.
George Washington, of Blessed Memory.
You would think they would want to study him for that if nothing else.
I had to look this up to remember the details:The National Memorial Arch commemorates the arrival of Washington and his soldiers at Valley Forge.
On the front of the memorial is a quote from George Washington’s letter to Governor George Clinton while at Valley Forge.
Naked and starving as they are
We cannot enough admire
The incomparable Patience and Fidelity
of the Soldiery
Located within the arch of the monument is a quote from a speech given by Henry Armitt Brown, an American writer and orator. Brown gave his speech at the 100 year anniversary of Valley Forge.
And here in this place of sacrifice, in this vale of humiliation, in this valley of the shadow, of that death out of which, the life of America rose, regenerate and free, let us believe, with an abiding faith, that to them, union will seem as dear, and liberty as sweet, and progress as glorious, they were to our fathers, and are to you and me, and that the institutions, which have made us happy, preserved by the, virtue of our children, shall bless, the remotest generation, to the time to come
Also located on the back of the monument are the last names of the American generals during the Revolutionary War.
Yes, well they would probably say there was at least something Shakespeare got right.
During the Summer, sometimes I go there and eat lunch.
It’s a cool place.
If brilliance is “white supremacy”, how is deleting them from academia going to help other races achieve their potential?
