Well, what do you expect? They have their quotas to keep up.

As a tenth-grade student currently suffering through a
supposedly "advanced" English class, which has so far read the
inanities of Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allan Poe, and (soon) Ernest
Hemingway, but has not seen a word of Mark Twain, Byron, Keats,
Chaucer, or (you were wondering when I was going to him)
Shakespeare, I sympathize with those of you who bemoan the
backlash against anybody white, male, or English. The "Slave
Narratives"? Whose? That's not a work of literature, it's a historical document.
