Plenty of students have difficulty understanding the plays, but — ‘triggered’… by a portrait of Shakespeare. Well, that’s a new one.
Students at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) have removed a portrait of William Shakespeare and replaced it with a picture of a black, lesbian poet for the sake of having greater diversity.
The large Shakespeare portrait had resided near a staircase in Fisher-Bennett Hall for years, until a gaggle of activist students removed it and placed it in the office of English department head Jed Esty. In its place, they taped up a photograph of Audre Lorde.
The portrait won’t be moved back, according to a statement from Esty, because as a white male, Shakespeare didn’t embody the value of diversity.

The question is will that black, lesbian poet’s work affect as many as Shakespeare?
We’re guessing not a chance.
Now dead white guys are getting heat for being white and not diverse?
Ummm…. Othello? Yes, there was certainly racism there. He wrote about a loyal, well-liked ‘Moor’ rising to success and his interracial marriage was a central part of the plot. It was written in the early 1600s. That was a risk.
Shakespeare’s plays are diverse in setting and time and deal with many issues including racism.
It gives a view on these issues from an Elizabethan perspective.
Is that wrong?
Ok, that’s it.
If you’re dissing ‘The Bard’ you don’t deserve to be in College.
Shakespeare is the inventor of many commonly used words…
You know what they say, ‘It’s Hard to Be the Bard’:
You ain’t kidding!

ClashDaily.com’s, Editor-In-Chief, Doug Giles addresses our nation’s abysmal wussification in his NEW book …
The Effeminization Of The American Male
by Doug Giles
Doug Giles, best-selling author of Raising Righteous And Rowdy Girls and Editor-In-Chief of the mega-blog, ClashDaily.com, has just penned a book he guarantees will kick hipster males into the rarefied air of masculinity.
That is, if the man-child will put down his frappuccino; shut the hell up and listen and obey everything he instructs them to do in his timely and tornadic tome.
In The Effeminization Of The American Male, Giles takes ‘Crispin’ from the unaccomplished, prissy and dank corridors of ‘Wussville’ up the steep, treacherous and unforgiving trail that leads to ‘Mantown.’
“Secretly, everybody’s getting tired of political correctness, kissing up. That’s the kiss-ass generation we’re in right now. We’re really in a p*ssy generation.” – Clint Eastwood
This is definitely one of the most politically incorrect books to ever hit the market.
It will most certainly offend the entitled whiners, but it will also be a breath of fresh air to young males who wish to be men versus hipster dandies.
