+1! But for some unbelievable reason I read the entire thread anyway. Here's my pitch: it's still monochrome. Only the color has changed. Temporarily. Everyone will get tired of it. It'll become passe while something else comes into vogue.

How about this instead: take a World Literature point of view. Represent everybody: Langston Hughes, T.S. Elliot, Margaret Atwood, Erich Maria Remarque, Milton, Danai Gurira (a great modern playwright as well as a kick ass TV star), Nikki Giovanni, J.M. Barrie, Robert Frost, Camus, Calvino, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Emily Dickinson, Twain, Frederick Douglass, etc. and of course Shakespeare and samples of religious literature.

See my pattern here? A thorough literature course should represent all demographics, nationalities, gender/orientation situations, not for any socio-political agenda, but to give students a full glimpse of life in the world, both yesterday and today.

If you want to give kids a well-rounded education, you have to give them a little bit of everything.
