U. Penn students remove Shakespeare portrait, replace it with black lesbian feminist poet

[Marusya]

AS AN AVID SHAKESPEARE LOVER, I AM OUTRAGED!

Students at the University of Pennsylvania pulled down the English Department’s portrait of William Shakespeare, replaced him with African-American author and feminist Audre Lorde, and demanded “a more inclusive” literature curriculum. English Department head Jed Esty vowed to form a “working group” to “declare and defend [its] departmental mission in the current political climate.”

No to Shakespeare...

Honestly, that's a giant ass fucking school, they definitely had more room to put up the feminist portrait somewhere else.

Don't get me wrong, she should be appreciated too, but U. Penn is a giant school and they have a lot of room to out that portrait in other places, they were just looking to start shit. Trust me, I'm an American college kid, I know how they function. Some of them love drama and controversy.

So, basically, this student body is going to be INCLUSIVE by EXCLUDING someone - a privileged white male named William Shakespeare. Makes total sense. :rolleyes:

These people are just trying to start flame wars, it's so obvious.

1. Graduate from the English Department
2. Stay jobless for a while
3. Become homeless, because money doesn't grow on trees, contrary to popular beliefs
4. Persuade yourself that Leninism, Marxism, Trotskyism are not the same because:

a. the ugly capitalists world cares only about money and people with technical degree who produce wealth

b. employers see feelings as useless and the beauty of the world is a too abstract concept for the narrow-minded of their ugly kind

c. the white male-led misogynistic society cannot see past your brown stained skin and truly appreciate you for who you really are
5. Eventually find purpose in life:

a. commit suicide : no purpose counts as purpose

b. join a NGO or become a street artist because colour doesn't matter

c. reach the peak of your career and become sandwich flipper at KFC

I guess most universities won't be around in 20 to 30 years or so as most classes can be replaced by the internet. Those that will remain will likely by technical universities such as Eindhoven, Delft, Caltech or MIT.
