| Penn University English department replaces Shakesphere |
| 2016-12-16 |
 [FrontPageMagazine] The Ignorance Cultural Revolution continues. The glorious cultural warriors against literacy have triumphed at the University of Pennsylvania where Shakespeare was declared a non-person and purged by what was formerly known as the English Department. Then he was swiftly replaced with an angry black illiterate lesbian racist womanist. |

| #7 Why do they even *have* an English department? English is the language of the white, colonial oppressors. Plus all those words stolen from oppressed languages around the world. |

| #5 Check back with me in five years and tell me how many people can quote Lorde or even read her? Politically correct non sense and literary moral equivalency. |

| #3 From the article: "The portrait has resided over the main staircase of Fisher-Bennett — home to Penn’s English Department — for years. The English Department voted to relocate and replace the portrait a few years ago in order to represent a more diverse range of writers, according to an emailed statement from Esty, who declined to be interviewed." The article's author then makes the point: "Not merit. Not worth. Diversity. And diversity means meritless worthlessness. Always remember that. Diverse equals worthless." |

| #2 I am pretty sure there's nearby community college that can be hired/contracted to teach English for technical writing and just dump the entire department. Lots of savings to be found there. |
