defending the bard
These waking accusations in opposition to Shakespeare are obscene (“Badly Bashing the Bard,” Wealthy Lowry, PostOpinion, March 14).
Othello was black. It was maybe Shakespeare’s most heroic and tragic efficiency.
Titus Andronicus’ Aaron was black as was the Moroccan prince, a enjoyable supporting character in The Service provider of Venice.
These progressive deconstructionists will cease at nothing.
To cite Polonius, who was not black, “Although that is insanity, but there’s a methodology to it.”

New York Metropolis Division of Homeless Providers Administrator Joslyn Carter is a devoted public servant who has all the time performed herself with integrity and transparency (“Somebody on the Inn,” March 6).
That features recusing himself from any involvement with the nonprofit shelter supplier the place his sister Valerie Smith works, regardless of The Put up’s implication of misconduct.
From the second Carter was confirmed as DHS chief, she was candid and candid about the truth that her sister labored for a nonprofit that had contracts with town.
Carter is in full compliance with town’s Battle of Curiosity Legislation and completely no wrongdoing has occurred.
The Division of Homeless Providers has been scrupulous in following battle of curiosity regulation when creating these safeguards, and New Yorkers can relaxation assured that the very best authorized requirements apply right here and all through Metropolis authorities.

campus tradition
I used to be impressed by Daniel McCarthy’s “The ‘Range’ Hole” (PostOpinion, March 13).
I’m a pupil at NYU, a college that’s notoriously liberal.
I grew up in a small city with a big Hispanic immigrant inhabitants, the place I used to be lucky to obtain a complete public schooling that targeted on actual points.
This has allowed me to understand how disconnected many academic establishments are from the issues of the true world.
At NYU, any shading of opinion is quietly discouraged. In case you converse up, you danger being rejected by each lecturers and classmates.
I’ve a tough time discovering locations on campus the place I can have a civil dialog with somebody.
What bothers me probably the most is that the faculty expertise I dreamed of is sort of inconceivable to search out on campus.
I wished to discover ways to debate, be taught totally different ideologies and really feel snug discussing troublesome points.
Nevertheless, the brainwashing woke up on campus has diminished virtually all of that.

Colin’s targets
As soon as once more, Adam Coleman has hit the nail on the pinnacle (“Colin’s Fetish,” PostOpinion, March 13).
If Colin Kaepernick and his ilk actually wished to assist folks of colour, they may do one thing constructive.
For starters, how about preventing for a greater schooling, as a substitute of the one which a lot of kids are receiving now?
A great begin can be to cry out for extra constitution colleges which have confirmed profitable time and time once more, an important alternative for individuals who cannot afford a personal faculty.
However doing that will not line their pockets or profit them in any method.
