sorry, but the people who complained about High School classics like The Crucible or Midsummers Night Dream ARE yokels. Ignorant, stupid, taliban-like yokels.

Hey buddy, read the article again. Then, when you're done, read it again. Nowhere in there does it say that the Christians in question complained about EITHER play. They complained about "Grease". The principal cancelled the Crucible for his own reasons, although I'm sure they involved not wanting to antagonize the community further, and "MidSummer Night's Dream" WAS NEVER CANCELLED OR CRITICIZED, at least according to the articles written about the subject. The comment in the article about "Midsummer Night's Dream" containing suicide, rape, etc. was made BY THE AUTHOR and attributed to nobody. I can only assume that the author inserted that line precisely to evoke the kind of response that you are giving. However, that comment was not attributed to any of the Christians whatsoever, nor the principal.
After all we've discussed about the propaganda perpetrated by the media, I would think people here would be more diligent about recognizing propaganda when they see it.
