Wow. Do we know how to educate, or what? It couldn't be based on any lack of persuasiveness on the Bard's part, I don't think. In 400 years has he ever been out of print? He's only the single most famous and influential writer to come out of England. Why teach him? We could teach a few more semesters of...what? What do you replace him with? And still call it an English degree?
