Looks like these clowns are trying to do to literature what the idiots in Oregon are doing to mathematics:
https://disrupttexts.org/2018/10/25/...g-shakespeare/
So let me get this straight: Shakespeare has no more and no less literary merit than any other playwright? Sheer insanity.We believe that Shakespeare, like any other playwright, no more and no less, has literary merit. He is not “universal” in a way that other authors are not. He is not more “timeless” than anyone else...
Overall, we continue to affirm that there is an over-saturation of Shakespeare in our schools and that many teachers continue to unnecessarily place him on a pedestal as a paragon of what all language should be. Though we enjoy reading some of the plots in his plays and acknowledge the depth and complexity within many of his plot arcs and characters, we also find that educators are often taught to see Shakespearean plays as near perfection, his characters as “archetypes”, and to persist in oj indoctrinating students into a false notion of the primacy (and superiority) of the English language...
So, let us be honest, the conversation really isn’t about universality, nor and this isn’t about being equipped to identify all possible cultural references. This is about an ingrained and internalized elevation of Shakespeare in a way that excludes other voices. This is about white supremacy and colonization.
Considering the violence, misogyny, racism, and more that we encounter in Shakespearean texts, we offer up the notion that we can open our minds and classrooms to texts that celebrate the voices and lives of marginalized people, speak to the students in front of us, and reflect a better society. We can do this by achieving balance and greater inclusion with the examples of excellence we place before students and by applying a forward-facing, critical lens, to these works. It is also imperative that we reflect and act to correct the messages educators and school systems send children about whose language is superior, whose stories are “universal”, and whose history should be carried into the future by means of remaining in the literary canon and thus, our societal collective consciousness.
We have long had death and taxes as the two standards of inevitability. But there are those who believe that death is the preferable of the two. "At least," as one man said, "there's one advantage about death; it doesn't get worse every time Congress meets."

Does she own more than one pair of glasses? And if so, does she stock hair dye to match them all?
And you are a violent, racist, misogynistic, white supremacist, $#@!lord if you so much as say a word in opposition.
You just made the list pal.

Uh oh... I just read this article about Wikipedia's bias problem: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/wik...es-whitewashed
But then I read, the Wikipedia page for Wikipedia's ideological bias, so I think we're ok. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideolo...s_on_Wikipedia"The days of Wikipedia's robust commitment to neutrality are long gone," co-founder Larry Sanger said.
"Wikipedia's ideological and religious bias is real and troubling, particularly in a resource that continues to be treated by many as an unbiased reference work," he added.
Wikipedia pages related to socialism and communism contain stark examples.
The two main pages for "Socialism" and "Communism" span a massive 28,000 words, and yet they contain no discussion of the genocides committed by socialist and communist regimes, in which tens of millions of people were murdered and starved.
Collectively, findings show that Wikipedia articles edited by large numbers of editors with opposing ideological views are at least as neutral as other similar sources, but articles with smaller edit volumes by a little number of ideologically homogeneous contributors were more likely to reflect an editorial bias

Harvard Study: Reparations for Slavery Could Have Reduced Coronavirus Transmissions & Deaths
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2...ssions-deaths/
Wendell Husebo 20 Feb 2021
Harvard recently produced a study on how reparations for slavery could reduce coronavirus transmissions and the death rate.
The study found that a “restitutive program targeted towards Black individuals would not only decrease COVID-19 risk for recipients of the wealth redistribution; the mitigating effects would also be distributed across racial groups, benefiting the population at large.”
“In general, a program of reparations is intended to achieve three objectives: acknowledgment of a grievous injustice, redress for the injustice, and closure of the grievances held by the group subjected to the injustice,” the study continued.
The Harvard prognosis suggests that, “Potential mechanisms by which reparations—through both monetary compensation and acknowledgement of injustice—could have suppressed the world’s largest outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 include:
1) narrowing of the path-dependent racial wealth divide;
2) changes in the built environment, fostering the ability to social distance;
3) spreading out of front-line work across racial groups;
4) decreased race-based allostatic load.”
The study did not address unintentional consequences of reparations in general.

Isn't "primacy" related to "primate"?

YouTube's AI blocks channel after allegedly mistaking discussions about CHESS pieces being 'black' and 'white' for racist slurs
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencet...-strategy.html
- Chess YouTuber Antonio Radic's channel was blocked for 'harmful' content
- Radic thinks his discussion of 'black versus white' in chess strategy set off the AI
- Researchers tested AI software 680,000 comments on YouTube chess channels
- Over 80 percent of comments marked as hate speech were incorrectly flagged
- Terms like 'black,' 'white,' 'attack' and 'threat' seemed to have set off the filters

Awfully convenient that he says 9 years knowing it will be 2030 by then. That's when Agenda 21 is supposed to be fully completed by.
