[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also means my RMIB kid has had THREE books assigned in all 12th grade for her IB HL English class. One was a short play. [/quote]

One of my kids had to do a feminist analysis of a Shel Silverstein kids book in high school english. I am not even kidding.[/quote]

That actually sounds interesting.[/quote]

There are whole courses like this offered in MCPS. Below is a description of a course offered at Wootton High School. Note that its lack of rigor (no translating?) is included in the description as a selling point for students:
  ""Shakespeare, Race, and Gender
    ENG 2086 Shakespeare, Race, And Gender
    Course Description: Analyze Shakespeare to ask questions about societal problems like racism, antisemitism, sexism, homophobia. No     worksheets, no lectures, no translating. Yes to discussions, movies, acting, music, art, and creativity. We’ll use interpretations of     Shakespeare to battle White supremacy and be critical of Shakespeare’s historical position as a tool of colonialism.
    Prerequisite: None
    Grades: 9-12"[/quote]
