Shakespeare cancelled? Woke U S teachers against teaching his work torontosun.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from torontosun.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
A growing number of woke academics are refusing to teach Shakespeare in U.S. schools, arguing that the Bard promotes racism, white supremacy and intolerance, and instead are pushing for the teaching of modern alternatives.
Writing in the January issue of School Library Journal, Amanda MacGregor, a Minnesota-based librarian, bookseller and freelance journalist, asked why teachers were continuing to include Shakespeare in their classrooms. Shakespeare s works are full of problematic, outdated ideas, with plenty of misogyny, racism, homophobia, classism, anti-Semitism and misogynoir, she wrote, with the last word referring to a hatred of black women.
But others contended the latest woke trend is short-sighted, not taking into account the lessons that Shakespeare still can teach for today - with one New York Times best-selling author accusing schools that jettison the writer as flushing great literature down the drain.
