The decision is aimed at better performance on state tests and avoiding sexual content found in some of the Bard’s work.

    OH FOR FUCK’S SAKE! EVEN FUCKING SHAKESPEARE IS TOO “WOKE” FOR THEM!

    God damn, I shouldn’t let them piss me off so much, but this is craziness.

      They 100% want to turn the US into a white ethnostate. Writing LGBTQIA+ people out of existence along with forcing us into a caste system is part of the plan.

        Yeah, but Shakespeare was a white, (probably) heterosexual Englishman who mostly just wrote about other white people. How much more ethnic whiteness do they want?

        It’s Othello, isn’t it? They’re objecting to Othello.

          You really can’t perform Taming of the Shrew without someone in drag.

          For anyone who don’t know the first scene involves a servant boy being dressed up as a woman and pretending to be this guy’s wife. Which he remains in. It is very funny and given that all women roles were played by men in drag that must of had the original audiences in stitches seeing the 4th wall being broken.
