And Hamlet should be banned, too. How dare Shakespeare write there’s something rotten in the state of Denmark.

You have a point there.

By today's standards--such as they are, always in flux among the elite academicians who pretend to set them--William Shakespeare (a nom de plume if there ever was one) would be labeled a racist, a homophobe, and an anti-Semite.

But the PC crowd might encounter pushback in branding West Side Story composer Leonard Bernstein anything but a man ahead of his time.

As I understand it, Lenny would have been a member of two "protected classes."
