4. We have to ask, should high school students be exposed to such filth?

OPHELIA

Pray you, let's have no words of this; but when they
ask you what it means, say you this:

Sings
To-morrow is Saint Valentine's day,
All in the morning betime,
And I a maid at your window,
To be your Valentine.
Then up he rose, and donn'd his clothes,
And dupp'd the chamber-door;
Let in the maid, that out a maid
Never departed more.

[Ray Bruns]

8. They are wiping out the most stunning works of art and literature.

The iconic art which defines the brilliance of human imagination, creativity and talent.

Like Putin is doing in Ukraine.

10. They banned Romeo and Juliet in my High School back in the Sixties.

I think it just got more kids interested in it.

Especially after they had an assembly where the Football Coach held up a paperback copy and declared it to be filth.
