This cartoon is from a very interesting series sponsored by the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists called “Cartoons for the Classroom. Each segment is a downloadable lesson plan with a few cartoons, background information and talking points. Public school teachers have less freedom in lesson planning now than 50 years ago when I was a kid. I hope teachers are squeezing this excellent resource between the mandated skills testing.
