In a similar move, a Massachusetts high school boasted that it had removed Homer’s Odyssey from the school curriculum as it conflicted with the anti-racist agenda it wanted to teach. “Very proud to say we got the Odyssey removed from the curriculum this year,” a teacher wrote on social media.

In my limited study of classical and Koine Greek I have yet to see the forest for the trees. That said, I have gained a desire to be precise with language and to think critically. Does not always work, however.

From the first name, I'd guess he's from the planet Krypton, and I might be willing to further venture from south of the border there...
