It was only a matter of time until William Shakespeare was decolonized

The Shakespeare ’s Birthplace Trust has concluded that William Shakespeare's works promote white supremacy and racist narratives.

The trust will issue more trigger warnings about the plays and apologize profusely for his excellence, says LZ Granderson .

Granderson: Many critics have rightly questioned this effort to criticize and qualify Shakespeare in the vain hopes of lifting more marginalized voices to literary prominence.

The British may be fine with flushing away their literary patrimony, but Americans should cherish it all the more.

Not only are Shakespeare ’s plays and poems a fundamental part of Western arts and letters, they are an enriching influence on all educated humanity.

More than any other writer, he indeed shows us there are more things in heaven and on Earth than are dreamt of in our postmodern philosophy.
