It's a shame. And almost insulting. It's like saying, "you minorities are too dumb to understand Shakespeare so we're ditching it."
I suppose this could be one more example of the ongoing "wussification of America". What's wrong with hard? What's wrong with challenges? The basketball net is too high, should they lower it cause it's too hard? There's too many note in classical music, does that mean we should stop exposing our kids to it?
One of my favorite books is "Diary of Anne Frank". I'm not a pubescent Jewish girl but I could still appreciate it. Do I have to be black to appreciate "Root"? I'm not an Asian woman either but they made us read that in high school. Ok, no problem, I can dig it.
It just gets harder and harder to be a teacher.... I feel luck that I don't have to be in K-12 now. SOunds like a nightmare.
