Wtf is "recognize shakespeare"?
No one knows who he was let alone what he looked like. Some people suggest that it was even possibly more than one person.
Also his writing more or less sucks. Id rather go fast any day.

What's this obsession with Shakespeare ?
The language he used in his plays was written the way they were was so all the different English languages/dialects could understand it. So he was key in developing the English language.

as it should be. what kid is reading shakespeare?
The most common cut off I'm seeing for Gen Z is 2012, so by that metric they're at least 13 years old. I don't know about school curricula these days, but I'd say all but the youngest 2-3 years have had a decent chance of having Shakespeare as a school assignment.

I remember when the same was said about millenials except the comparison was between Ronald Mcdonald and Jesus/George Washington.
Y'all in here doing your best to defend the shitty education you got.
Why?
I bet this guy didn't even learn to recognise 李白 in school.
