Ridiculous! How are the young to understand that such ideas once existed -- and still do, and be able to form their own opinions about them -- with or without the "help" of their teachers? Frankly, I believe this is all just a dodge to excuse teachers from having to teach.A sustained effort is under way to deny children access to literature. Under the slogan #DisruptTexts, critical-theory ideologues, schoolteachers and Twitter agitators are purging and propagandizing against classic texts—everything from Homer to F. Scott Fitzgerald to Dr. Seuss.
Their ethos holds that children shouldn’t have to read stories written in anything other than the present-day vernacular—especially those "in which racism, sexism, ableism, anti-Semitism, and other forms of hate are the norm," as young-adult novelist Padma Venkatraman writes in School Library Journal. No author is valuable enough to spare, Ms. Venkatraman instructs: "Absolving Shakespeare of responsibility by mentioning that he lived at a time when hate-ridden sentiments prevailed, risks sending a subliminal message that academic excellence outweighs hateful rhetoric."

And this gal has been a public school teacher for decades. It's scary because I suspect she developed her radicalism AFTER becoming a "teacher" and joining that elite club of busybody lefties.
Control education, control the news cycle, and control other means of disseminating information aka entertainment etc. and you control a country. America is lost if we do not get the educational system back.

The sad thing is that this girl used to be very nice and probably still is, just she drank the kool aid and is now one of the soldiers of Satan's army. It's sad.
