William Shakespeare ditched by woke teachers over ‘misogyny, racism’

A slew of English literature teachers told the School Library Journal (SLJ) how they were ditching the likes of "Hamlet," "Macbeth" and "Romeo and Juliet" to instead "make room for modern, diverse, and inclusive voices." "Shakespeare was a tool used to ‘civilize’ Black and brown people in England’s empire," insisted Shakespeare scholar Ayanna Thompson, a professor of English at Arizona State University.
