Florida school district to only teach excerpts from Shakespeare under new regulations

The full plays have been removed from the curriculum following the passing of a number of laws restricting sexual content in school reading materials.

Pupils in a Florida school district will only be reading excerpts of Shakespeare rather than the full plays after new guidelines regarding sexual content in the curriculum were brought in.

Teachers in Hillsborough County have been told parts of the Bard's classics contain sections which are sexual in nature and therefore cannot be taught following the passing of the Parental Rights in Education Act.

I suppose that you could condense any work of art to its bare bones. The Reduced Shakespeare Company did it for years in the UK. But they did it for comic effect and a knowledge of the plays was needed to get the most out of it.

Florida is screwing up its kids at the behest of extreme right wing crazies. Why bother teaching anything at all ?

Michelangelo.
Milton
and now Shakespeare are deemed too much for kids accoerding to moronic Florida republicans.

There isnt much else left to ban. Maybe the kids will end up watching monster trucks and wrestling ?

remember, these people consider shakesphere "boring," have never heard of paradise lost, and certainly will never understand the agony and ecstasy of michaelangelo.

“These people."

That’s the spirit!

Go ahead & hate your neighbor!

But yeah, the full plays will be taught (ie: ignored) in high school.

The right-wing war on education continues.

I read that the Univ. of Pennsylvania got rid of Shakespeare for an African American woman in some way in one of their programs.

At the end of this rather ridiculous article you find that the full plays will be taught at the high school level. The complaint is directed at what level? Kindergarten?

Democrats still trying to positively portray adults having sex with children.

It's okay for New York to use Shakespeare to claim that Richard III was a black woman.

They just can't get away from sexualizing children.......the democrats are just evil.

I am moving to Pennsylvania in October, but if this country keeps on the same path I might be in England soon or up North in Scotland…

This nonsense is getting weird for me!

I mean Shakespeare is a classic but alas Florida has always had their loons down there!

They arrest you for praying and singing "Kung Fu Fighting," in Britain now.....so good luck moving there...

Only an idiot would think Shakespeare is “inappropriate”

Classic overreaction on the part of the school district because they don't like the law, and are playing games to get the law repealed so they can once again use books with LGBT bullshit on 3rd graders.

It's a show, nothing else but.

Watching the news, a teacher from Florida says that excerpts from Shakespeare will be read out loud while students will have textbooks with the full plays. The plays will still be taught at the high school level.

This is just more democrat lies. They lie about everything.

A total fabrication.

The NWO shillbots and NPCs are mad Americans are wising up to their child grooming.

If democrats ran a blockbuster video, they would mix gay porn in with the kids section.

Democrats like to dress up like freaks and read pornographic books to children.

Are you equating children reading Shakespeare to children watching porn?

Do you support drag queens reading books like, "Gender Queer" to children?

No

That isn’t what this thread is about, though

It sounds like they are all over the place. As you would expect with bad law. I understand that following the outcry they have noe dropped their jihad against Shakespeare.
But these extremists need watching.

This is not true. Patently false.

No

Actually, this thread exists because a while back democrats were dressing up like freaks, going to schools, and reading America's children pornorgaphic books.

Florida has these laws to protect kids from democrats.

Democrats sexualize children, just like pedophiles.

MTG IS RIGHT!!!
