I've come to the conclusion that it isn't about moral objections to the content, but about excercising power.
If you object to the content of a play don't go. If you don't want your children exposed to that content, don't let them participate. Protecting yourself from such problems isn't in the least bit difficult.
No it's about excercising your self-appointed moral authority over others, about forcing your moral worldview on others who may not share it.
And, ah, irony, don't you just love it. They cancel The Crucible and then cite "historical context" as a reason for not doing the same with Romeo and Juliet.
