    Shakespeare too sexual for Florida’s schools?

    Hmm, part of me wonders what such folks would have to say about underwear ads in our stores here. On display for all to see.

    Jordan Peterson and Bill Maher...

    That’s been a thing since before “trans activism” actually. Cancer comes to mind immediately and interestingly enough injuries that were ahem acquired during war. (In this instance, the Iraq war.) I recall when I was in school there was something of an “awareness campaign” which sought to get...

    Shakespeare too sexual for Florida’s schools?

    What’s pornographic about Shakespeare? I mean his plays have some bawdy humour, don’t get me wrong. But if you want an example of actual pornographic material in classical literature that is taught in modern day academia, you literally have an example in the Libertine Movement, with authors such...

    Shakespeare too sexual for Florida’s schools?

    Interesting I know Billy didn’t have original plots to his plays. But what’s this about stealing a Juliette and making her younger? I feel like I’ve heard about this in passing conversations lol

    Shakespeare too sexual for Florida’s schools?

    That’s what I thought. So the decision to seemingly dictate the curriculum of Shakespeare didn’t make sense to me. Unless they just are trying to get teens enthused about good old Shakes. In which case I’d applaud their effort lol

    Starting or Posting in Threads but Then Getting Too Busy Offline

    Lol me in a nutshell these days. I tell myself I’ll participate then I’ll get distracted or straight up forget to respond and then I’ll feel bad once I realise later. Only to feel too awkward to reply lol Sometimes just want a day to binge watch my geek stuff lol Right now I’m in a DC mood

    Shakespeare too sexual for Florida’s schools?

    Lol a common joke among many a fanbase that I am in is that companies intentionally upset Pearl clutching folks so they get free advertising

    Shakespeare too sexual for Florida’s schools?

    Agreed. And to make myself clear, I recognise that “times were different back then” so I find it kind of silly to hold R and J up to modern standards of marriage I mean I understand reading his plays with a modern lens as a way of analysing it. But outside of that, I don’t really see the point lol

    Shakespeare too sexual for Florida’s schools?

    Ahh. Of course. Gotta make sure boys don’t masturbate and what better way than with the blandest food imaginable lol

    Shakespeare too sexual for Florida’s schools?

    Whilst true, R and J always made me feel uneasy. Which I guess you could argue was the point? Teenage stupidity on full display for all to see. But my unease might be more due to my modern sensibilities regarding marriage. In Australia the legal minimum is 18, with some exceptions made if one...

    Shakespeare too sexual for Florida’s schools?

    Ahh I see. I learnt R and J multiple times in high school. A couple of times was in English (obviously lol) but weirdly it came up in my Social studies class and again in my modern history class. I mean in hindsight it made sense given the context it was always taught to me (which changed...

    Shakespeare too sexual for Florida’s schools?

    I’ve seen these censorship acts fail (or succeed depending on your desired outcome, I suppose) time and time again, even within my lifetime. Harry Potter, the GTA franchise, even the Simpsons among other titles. All were apparently evil and going to corrupt my young mind. So naturally I flocked...

    Shakespeare too sexual for Florida’s schools?

    I mean, to be fair, iirc Romeo is not only older but he is more sexually experienced. Given that he’s lamenting a breakup at the start. So there is an uneasy power dynamic you could read into their relationship. Not saying that’s what Shakes intended of course, it was probably a bit more...

    Shakespeare too sexual for Florida’s schools?

    Plot twist, this is the school’s way of increasing teens reading Shakespeare and DeSantis was just an easy cover story lol
