Dickens, Orwell and Plath have been dumped from HSC English lists starting on 2027.

The woke nightmare continues to roll through HSC English with the greatest writer in the English language, Charles Dickens gone, George Orwell axed and the film, Good Night and Good Luck cut.

Female authors, poets and directors make up 49 per cent of creative works on the new text list. One has to question whether creativity requires a gender quota.

There are 83 texts in total, including films, books, poetry and non-fiction works – a 20 per cent reduction from the current list of just over 100 options.

A lengthy romance tome from the 1990s, Possession by A. S. Byatt, which was on the list 15 years ago, has returned, while Anthony Doeer’s 2014 novel All the Light We Cannot See, has been cut.

They included Byatt over Doeer? What the fuck?

The HSC English list is decided by nine teachers alongside some NSW Education Standards Authority staff, who use woke thinking to fuck up the curriculum and leave their students hopelessly unprepared for the world.

With the rise of AI one would have thought Orwell’s work timely. You only need to look at urban poverty in Australia’s cities to know Dicken’s work is crucially important.

While Dickens’ Great Expectations and Orwell’s 1984 will be gone from 2027, Pride and Prejudice has returned.

The girls will like that.
