Shakespeare In The Classroom

Huck at BumfOnline has a post up about an issue that I didn't even know was an issue. It shouldn't be an issue. Ignorance of Shakespeare is like ignorance of grammar or spelling. Not teaching at least some Shakespeare in the classroom is like not teaching reading. Shakespeare's work is the literary foundation of virtually all modern English language writing. If they aren't teaching Shakespeare, what are they teaching?

Update: speling errers corected. Duh.
