Works of literature written before 1970 are almost always taboo because they are bound to have something politically incorrect in them.

It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

It's also a very good reason to teach at home using REAL books instead of textbooks, and to stage a conservative, non-PC, non-revisionist coup of the local school board.

Awesome choice for a Shakespeare quote. I was thinking of a good Shakespeare quote...but the one you picked was ideal! I think it's time to read MacBeth again!

Knock,
knock! Who's there, in the other devil's
name? Faith, here's an equivocator, that could
swear in both the scales against either scale;
who committed treason enough for God's sake,
yet could not equivocate to heaven: O, come
in, equivocator.

Correction "it is a tale told by a person with learning disabilities, full of sound and fury, signifying unique communication strategies.

More Shakespeare modernized for contemporary PoMo sensibilities:

"Good night, sweet person of monarchical descent, and flights of socio-religious semiotic icons sing thee to thy rest"

"Some are born great, some achieve greatness, but most are priveleged oppressors of the ruling phallocentric patriarchy"

"Let me have men and/or women and/or transgendered about me that are differentially-sized,
Persons of diverse hair, and such as are victims of sleep disorders.
Yond Cassius has a look of improper nutrition;
He thinks too much: such persons are at-risk..."
