Three years ago Oregon Shakespeare Festival launched a program to translate Shakespeare into Modern English. The program is called Play On! (which you can easily search for ). They needed 36 translators to work on all of Shakespeare's plays. Their stated goal was to hire more than half writers of color and more than half women. I think this violates state and federal civil rights laws, which insist that people cannot be excluded from work because of race, sex, etc.
I was an experienced Modern English Shakespeare translator long before this program was started. I was excluded because I am a white male? Was this legal or moral?
