[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry but have you all read Shakespeare? The jokes are very bawdy and there are rape jokes too. [/quote]

[b]Exactly!

And don’t get me started on Catullus. OP would super clutch her pearls.[/b][/quote]

It's Shakespeare.  Like the kids would even understand what any of it meant.  And there is a difference between a risque joke and bawdy line thrown in here and there versus the central idea of the entire play being very morally questionable. [/quote]
The themes in Shakespeare’s plays are universal. If they’re acted well, they’ll be understood whether or not students pick up every word—and the point of performing them & reading them in school is to teach critical reading skills and understanding.

But best not introduce Romeo & Juliet; it’s about teenagers who have sex then kill themselves because they can’t stanf to be apart and their parents don’t approve. [/quote]

I think PP is unaware that Catullus isn’t Shakespeare ...[/quote]
