Political Correctness Gone MadFreddy Woo writes: "I once worked on an animation to help highlight the issues homeless people face in winter. The client was happy with the work, then a note came back that the ethnic mix of the characters were wrong. These were cartoon characters. They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."

subject to debateI'd agree with both points, although Shakespeare should be accessible to all. If MacBeth [murder, madness etc.] is available to all why should Hamlet be excluded simply for it's somewhat misogynistic view of women and incestuous themes.
*sigh*
As some books are banned due to their 'thought-crime' quotient, T.S. Eliot is taught less and less because he had such right-wing views. That is one of the reasons he is taught less and less in American Universities... so i hear.
