Why are some things taught as being objectively good?

Shakespeare for example. I absolutely HATED studying him back in high school. This doesn't mean I don't appreciate his talent in literature. Surely I am not alone in thinking that one's opinion of something should not be dictated by the impact someone or something has on the world around them. Thoughts?

Update:

@Shecky - Did you even read the details...?
