>>>>>>>>Apparently various education groups are advocating for dropping Shakespeare from school/university curriculums as his work “is full of misogyny, racism, homophobia, class discrimination, anti-Semitism”. I'm sure Chaucer and Dickens must be on the firing line. Homer and the Iliad also looking to be cancelled amongst many more. no doubt.

>Here's an anecdote to contemplate:
>When I was a (very) young manager we gave recruits a quiz. One of the questions was- Someone drops a quarter in the forest in a circular patch of 3" grass with a 20 foot diameter. A person 6 feet tall can only see the coin looking down from a foot one way or the other. What is the optimal way to find the coin?
>The textbook answer was to walk concentric circles starting at the perimeter, looking down till you see the coin. You'll never look at the some spot twice and you'll inevitably find the coin.
>Great! You nailed it. On to the next question.

>Then, someone came along and said " Wait. A kid who grew up in a forest might say 'Climb the nearest tree and keep climbing till you see it shining."
>They dropped that question.
