Defending the Bard
These woke accusations towards Shakespeare are obscene (“Badly Bashing the Bard,” Wealthy Lowry, PostOpinion, March 14).
Othello was black. He was maybe Shakespeare’s most heroic and tragic rendering.
Aaron from Titus Andronicus was black in addition to the Moroccan Prince, a humorous minor participant in The Service provider of Venice.
These progressive deconstructionists will cease at nothing.
To cite Polonius, who was not black, “Although this be insanity, but there may be technique in it.”

Carter’s service
New York Metropolis’s Division of Homeless Companies Administrator Joslyn Carter is a devoted public servant who has all the time carried out herself with integrity and transparency (“Somebody on the inn-side,” March 6).
That features recusing herself from any involvement with the nonprofit shelter supplier her sister Valerie Smith works at, regardless of The Publish’s implication of misconduct.
From the second Carter was confirmed because the DHS chief, she was upfront and candid about the truth that her sister was employed by a nonprofit that had contracts with town.
Carter is in full compliance with town’s Conflicts of Curiosity Legislation, and completely no improprieties have occurred.
The Division of Homeless Companies has been scrupulous in following the conflicts of curiosity legislation when it developed these safeguards, and New Yorkers can make certain that the very best authorized requirements apply right here and all through metropolis authorities.
As The Publish factors out, there may be all the time the potential for corruption in metropolis authorities.
However until there are severe allegations backed up by proof, implying corruption the place there may be none is deeply unfair to 2 ladies who’ve devoted their skilled lives to serving to home New Yorkers in want.

Campus tradition
I used to be struck by Daniel McCarthy’s “The ‘Variety’ Hole” (PostOpinion, March 13).
I’m a scholar at NYU, a faculty 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 get a well-rounded public college training that was targeted on actual points.
This has enabled me to note how out-of-touch many academic establishments are to real-world issues.
At NYU, any nuance in opinion is silently discouraged. Should you do converse up, you threat being shunned by each professors and classmates.
I’ve a tough time discovering locations on campus the place I can have a civilized dialog with anybody.
What’s most upsetting for me is that the faculty expertise I dreamed of is near-impossible to seek out on campus.
I needed to discover ways to debate, be taught completely different ideologies and be comfy discussing exhausting topics.
Nevertheless, the woke brainwashing on campus has diminished practically all of that.

Colin’s objectives
As soon as once more, Adam Coleman has hit the nail proper on the top (“Colin’s Fetish,” PostOpinion, March 13).
If Colin Kaepernick and his ilk actually needed to assist folks of shade, they might do one thing constructive.
For starters, how about preventing for higher training, as an alternative of what an excessive amount of youngsters are receiving now?
An excellent begin could be screaming for extra constitution colleges which have proved time and time once more to achieve success — a fantastic alternative for many who can’t afford personal college.
However doing that may not line their pockets or profit them in any manner.
