The Rise of Far Left Extremism

[Metamorph]

It's not about replacing Shakespeare, it's about expanding the literary canon. All those dead white authors are not in the canon because they are better, but because nobody paid attention to the rest. Zora Neale Hurston is objectively far better than Hemingway, but as a black woman author, she had a much harder time. That's what it's about.

No, it's about replacing authors. People who actually read have already read Zora Neale Hurtson. People who don't want to read want to get rid of Shakespeare and replace it with Derrida (not black women) and Tumblr poetry. Just because you don't know this is a problem doesn't mean it isn't a problem.

This is not my experience. Also, the people who don't want to read are not the ones who make the decision of what to include on the reading list for a class.
