Go, Will! Still controversial after all these years

I've been known to complain about theatrical interpretations of "The Tempest" which use Caliban as a victim of colonialism, because I think it's been done too often, but I guess it's still pretty controversial in Arizona, so I retract any of those complaints I've made in the past. Also, I love the way censorship is spun as an attempt to quote help unquote eliminate racist speech: reducing racism through censorship has, historically, been so effective, hasn't it?
