Academics Come After Shakespeare
What progressives are progressing toward is the eradication of Western Civilization. Nothing is sacred — not even Shakespeare:
A study funded by the British government to the tune of almost a million pounds claims that William Shakespeare, one of foremost the literary icons in history, has been disproportionately represented and has enabled “white, able-bodied, heterosexual, cisgender male narratives” to dominate theatre.
The study, by academics at the University of Roehampton, was funded by the government’s Arts and Humanities Research Council …
Shakespeare’s work and those who have appreciated it reflect the attributes of the culture that produced them, including “masculinity and nationalism.” Clearly, the Bard is overdue for cancelation.
Social engineers have already found a replacement:
As a counter to Shakespeare’s lack of diversity, the researchers are staging a production of a play by John Lyly, a playwright around at the same time as Shakespeare but who wasn’t as successful.
The researchers claim that the Lyly play Galatea offers “an unparalleled affirmative and intersectional demographic, exploring feminist, queer, transgender and migrant lives”.
Given that basically none of those things existed when the play was written, anyone in their right mind would conclude that they are not themes in the play, and instead have been crowbarred into it by the ‘academics’ obsessed with pushing their identity nonsense agenda.
You can’t have moonbattery and also have anything else. It is like algae that consumes all the oxygen in a pond so that nothing else can live.
On a tip from Franco.
