They 100% want to turn the US into a white ethnostate. Writing LGBTQIA+ people out of existence along with forcing us into a caste system is part of the plan.
Yeah, but Shakespeare was a white, (probably) heterosexual Englishman who mostly just wrote about other white people. How much more ethnic whiteness do they want?
It’s Othello, isn’t it? They’re objecting to Othello.
You really can’t perform Taming of the Shrew without someone in drag.
For anyone who don’t know the first scene involves a servant boy being dressed up as a woman and pretending to be this guy’s wife. Which he remains in. It is very funny and given that all women roles were played by men in drag that must of had the original audiences in stitches seeing the 4th wall being broken.
Shakespeare is never taught properly in school anyways. I always hated it. They teach plays by making you read and analyze. That’s like taking a film course and reading the scripts but never watching the movies.
Once you watch Shakespeare as intended, on a stage but nothing fancy, by actors who don’t take themselves too seriously, it clicks. But reading the plays as a teenager is just dumb.
I was so glad one of my high school teacher had us watch movies after we read a play. The best was her having us watch Throne of Blood after we finished Macbeth.
My school would have his read a portion ourselves, then we would follow along to the audio while rereading it, and for bonus points you could read a speech from it to the class at the end.
Maybe not perfect but I do remember Julius Ceaser.
I enjoyed English class in school, but in the years during and after university, I’ve come to realise just how much I was missing out. I used to think Shakespeare was overrated, but now I see the big deal
The decision is aimed at better performance on state tests
Fucking good. We’ve constantly spent more than our peer countries on public education, but our quality of education is trash. I don’t know if it’s the bloated admin state, the desire to constantly try to teach new things in various ways then ditching the programs after 2 years, or just overall incompetence, but our education system is incredibly well funded, but doing shitty.
It’s like watching the angels buy the 2 best players in baseball and have a .500 record…except the U.S. school system is playing more like the A’s
Bushy jr with no child left behind. It actually left a lot of kids behind because they were kicked out of school so they didn’t bring test averages down
You’re telling me that instead of taking their excess cash from interest payment freezes and paying the principal of the loans, people spent it and spent even more and are still going to complain how they have student loans?
Me thinking people should pay off loans they’ve taken out makes me a qanoner? I bought a car that had a loan…I paid it off.
That’s how it works.
You calling anyone who doesn’t blindly trust broad loan forgiveness just continues the divide in our country. Why do you just try to insult people that have different opinions than you?
No, you jumping to stupid conclusions based on a clickbait headline might though.
If you actually read the article, the data they’re quoting says nothing about debt increasing, only that the number of people in that age range with credit cards increased in the few years around when the loan payment pause. You know why that might have happened? Maybe because around the same time covid was happening and everything moved online and needed a card instead of using cash?
The immediate jump to insulting people and sarcasm tells on yourself so hard. Nobody can have any help because it doesn’t help you. So angry for no reason.
The government caused the insane bloating of college institutions by offering limitless funds and pushing every kid to go school, now they’re trying to use our tax dollars to put a band aid on their mistakes? Hell no.
(1) it’s not limitless, and (2) tuition and public institutions should be free anyway, and (3) tuition was really cheap until Ronald Reagan and his glorification of greed poisoned our entire culture.
College is so expensive because the government does NOT offer lots of funding to public universities.
And the help the government provides in the form of loans is subpar. When I was going through college a few years ago, the interest rate on the loans that were offered to me by the government was higher than my parents credit card interest rates.
Our taxes should be used to pay for the education of future generations. Demanding the next generation improve society while making it as hard as possible for them is completely idiotic at best.
Lol isn't returning to Shakespeare half the point of Florida's new SAT replacement test that is created by hard-core Catholics? The "classical tradition" is the shit, so I was led to believe.
It and the rest of america’s dystopian history makes me think america would have been better if they lost the revolutionary war and later gained independence peacefully like Australia for example
It wouldn’t have. The American Revolution inspired revolutions in 60 other countries, including the French, Haitian and Mexican revolutions, and it’s what helped kickstart modern-day democracy in much of the world for that fact. Had the U.S. lost, it would have forever cemented the idea that the crown is all-powerful, beyond reproach, and the only way to get anything in life is to kiss the ring.
No matter how evil the U.S. turned out to be, the way it began will always be its true importance imo.
These are the sort of folks who, when they were told they had to let black children use the town swimming pool, instead shut down the entire town recreational athletics program and filled the pool in with concrete.
And told their kids to blame it on the black people.
Hey kids? When someone tells you to hate, they’re trying to make your world worse.
I suspect the changes to race theory pushed through recently in Florida will have this taught as a acid bath was beneficial and great for your complexion…
It’s extra ironic because conservatives want you to believe that people are somehow forcing them to use certain pronouns, but they’re the only ones passing fascist laws that dictate what pronouns you’re required to use.
