Concur.Read the fucking article.
Well…You won't sound like such a fool.
Oh sport.If they would have ran away together, they would have had sex. So we can't be teaching that.
No wonder DeSantis enacted the ban.Oh sport.
They had an all nighter early on - way before they suicided.
You're hysterical. Drag has been around for thousands of years. Have you ever seen South Pacific?Do you support drag queens reading books like, "Gender Queer" to children?
Not a ban, but Shakey be racey fa shizzle.No wonder DeSantis enacted the ban.
And Shakey was once performed by all-male casts.You're hysterical. Drag has been around for thousands of years. Have you ever seen South Pacific?
Drag queens that perform for children are pedophilesYou're hysterical. Drag has been around for thousands of years. Have you ever seen South Pacific?
Mark Twain is not read anymore because of one word. We have gone stupid on both sides. We get what we vote for, which is a lot of stupid.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.news.sky.com
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 ?
Seems like you haven’t read much of it.Why? Because they “only” cut parts out and left little samples of the plays?
Cutting out the “dirty parts” is moronic because there are no dirty parts in Shakespeare.
...
Cut it because elementary kids are too young to decipher the old English, fine.
....
Shakespeare was not written in Old English.
Do you oppose the Florida law?Mark Twain is not read anymore because of one word. We have gone stupid on both sides. We get what we vote for, which is a lot of stupid.
Do you oppose the Florida law?
Do you want ALL the books put back?
That was because women were forbidden from performing.Men usually played women's parts in Elizabethan theater.
Did I say that? What happen to common sense? Why take out Mark Twain or Shakespeare?Do you oppose the Florida law?
Do you want ALL the books put back?
Sex, violence, revenge - it’s all there.Seems like you haven’t read much of it.
Shakespeare is the topic for this thread.So you want ALL the books put back, or just Shakespeare?
Ok true. My point was it’s too challenging for young kids.Shakespeare was not written in Old English, it was written in Early Modern English.
You think it has enough violence or sex to be censored?Seems like you haven’t read much of it.
