Although I do not believe in the curse, some people are superstitious about it and do not want to say it, which is completely fine with me. But it is not their place to tell me if I can say it or not; that’s up to me. As cliché as it may sound, I have the Freedom of Speech and should be able to exercise my right in a classroom of all places, where teachers tell us to express our opinions and share our views without having to censor them, but then I am told not to say the name of a play we are studying?
Here, we see Mr. Yee spinning
after saying the cursèd word.

In the following weeks studying Macbeth, the name has been said many times, with many of those times being the same people who claimed it was disrespectful to say it...hypocritical much? As a "punishment" for speaking his name, one has to spin around three times (you can now watch Mr. Yee spin around for eternity following the countless times he has said Macbeth!!!), which makes even less sense than the curse itself. Even if there really was some mysterious curse, standing up to spin around would do nothing to prevent it. Like Macbeth wouldn't say, "You just said my name, so now I will do something bad to you! Oh wait you spun around, nvm." So basically my point is that this whole thing makes no sense. Bye.
