Political correctness has usurped education.

The greatest lie that Satan tells is that God doesn’t exist. The greatest lie these leftists tell is that the crap they preach is superior.

Well, they still offer Shakespeare at Mississippi State. My daughter took it. And if you are in the Honors Program, you can select a general ed program of Great Books. My son’s doing that and he just read the Odyssey and moved on to Abelard, I think. So, there are countercurrents out there.

This crap is at work too. The next time someone brings up slavery, and white people need to ‘own it,’ ask them how they feel about slavery and the human sacrifice, which the Aztecs were practicing in 1519, when slaves were first brought to America. Ask them, “Do Mexican’s need to own that?”

To expose students to alternative rubrics of gender, sexuality, race, and class,

The irony being, Shakespeare covered most of those topics in his plays, albeit a little more complicated in his prose and requiring more thoughtful consideration than the average hip-hop lyrics.

The rich expression in English of it’s day found in Shakespeare is beyond the mental capabilities of a majority of “smart phone” (stupid a@@) “students” The Verbal score of the SAT or other testing— proves this.

Mental rot from Big Brother of the mobile central brain screen. Smart phones— stupid people.

Marvelous to learn ways to insult people who are too stupid to know you have insulted them— for indeed one could not insult their intelligence and they are left with just one’s “tone” or ‘big words’ for which they have no definition.

Poorly written article.
Author Pooja Bachani says UCLA English majors no longer *required* to study Shakespeare, indicating Shakespeare has been reduced to a mere elective.
Then she (or he) says the school is “Shakespeare free” suggesting Shakespeare classes have been removed entirely.
Forsooth, which is it?

I was talking to some young women educators recently, and neither knew what a cauldron is. I recited some Shakespeare to them, and they stared blankly at me. I’m not sure if my older children had to read any Shakespeare in high school. They may have read Romeo and Juliet. I’d rather they read Macbeth.
