"dropped Shakespeare in order to showcase Indigenous authors" - this is a very sad day, indeed. The day when one teacher decides to drop one of the pillars of the British culture in favor of some obscure authors is bad for everybody who tries to keep this place together. 

People who read Shakespeare have built our present society. What did the "Indigenous authors" did for the common good? And by common I mean all of us - descendants of the original settlers, recent immigrants, indigenous people -
 absolutely nothing.
