Mrs. Anderson paralels with simpsons edisode
The Mrs. Anderson situation is very similar to a Simpsons episode where Principal Skinner was fired and all of the staff was swept out with him. Barts old teacher Mrs. Crabapple took alot of his shit and when the new militaristic teacher came in he did not tolerate it any more. He kind of brain washed the kids into following the new curriculum. Mrs. Anderson was put in place to help defend the DHS at a school level. The youth were the ones in revolt so the DHS attemped to fix the problem at the source by manipulating the malliable brain of adolecents. Education shapes people and depending on what you are opened up to your opinions, thoughts, and even actions can be changed. I have seen this many times in my own life with teacher that were good. Mrs. Anderson could have transformed the kids into anything. In an attempt to stop the radicalist actions of the kids the DHS attacked the problem at the source. Mrs. Anderson spins and twists information regarding the bill of rights to remold the students rebellious brains, much like the miliaristic teacher in the Simpsons.
