A sensible approach would be to point out the prejudice in their analysis of Shakespeare, but their extreme reaction is a wider sign of the times with regard to disproportionate responses, unfortunately.Originally posted by Kidicious

Even PG Wodehouse deployed cheap and shabby Jewish stereotypes, it may be worth observing.Comment

I don't think they were trying to make a statement about Shakespeare, as if to get people to stop reading Shakespeare. There were trying to get simpathy for their race. Pointing out that other authors in the past were also antisemtic isn't going to help them. They need some straight talk. Somewhere along the line they became very confused.Originally posted by Cort Haus

Some children are bored by reading and arithmetic- this doesn't make literacy or reading or mathematics bad things.Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.

The difference is literacy and mathematics serve a purpose, Shakespeare is just entertainment (that is subjective, too).
This may shock you, molly, but not everything in the world is as important as plays."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
