WORSE THAN BOOK BURNING: THE MODERN ATTACK ON CLASSIC LITERATURE.

What's worse than burning books? Forgetting why we read them in the first place. Today, a growing chorus of critics argues that teaching William Shakespeare is to uphold racism, antisemitism, and "problematic" ideas. From Yale to high school classrooms, the call to interrogate, de-center, or even cancel the Bard is getting louder. They say his works are antiquated, and that studying them promotes toxic values. But what if these "modern" critiques aren't new at all? What if the Bard himself, writing over 400 years ago, already anticipated and dismantled these very arguments in his plays? This video reveals the stunning foresight of Shakespeare, using his own immortal words as the ultimate rebuttal to his 21st-century critics. We don't just defend the classics; we let the classics speak for themselves, exposing a catastrophic misunderstanding at the heart of modern academia. Join us as we uncover: The fundamental mistake critics of Othello and The Merchant of Venice make about racism and antisemitism. The powerful speech Shakespeare gave his most controversial character that turns the accusations on their head. How a simple line from a famous love story dismantles the entire argument about an author's identity. The timeless wisdom that proves great literature is not the cause of society's ugliness, but the brilliant light that exposes it. Before we attempt to stand on the neck of giants, perhaps we should first understand why they became giants in the first place. This is not just a defense of Shakespeare—it's a rediscovery of what literature is for. What are your thoughts on the role of classic literature today? Let us know in the comments below!
