Pupils in a Florida school district will only be reading excerpts of Shakespeare due to new guidelines regarding sexual content in the curriculum
Pupils in a Florida school district will only be reading excerpts of Shakespeare rather than the full plays after new guidelines regarding sexual content in the curriculum were brought in.
Hillsborough County informed teachers that parts of the Bard's classics contain sections which are sexual in nature and therefore cannot be taught following the passing of the Parental Rights in Education Act. The legislation, dubbed the"Don't Say Gay" law by its opponents, limits classroom materials that"contain pornography or obscene depictions of sexual conduct".
Other reasons included revised state standards and an effort to get students to read a wide variety of books for new state exams, the school district said in an emailed statement on Tuesday.plays use suggestive puns and innuendo, and it is implied that the protagonists have had premarital sex in"Romeo and Juliet."
The playwright's books will however be available for checkout at media centres at schools, the district said.More on Florida
