      Yes so much crazy in USA it’s hard yo keep up. As I mention in another response, the limitation on teachers to even mention they are gay for instance, is an actual violation of free speech, and is not to protect the children, but is 100% religious prejudice and bigotry. Such a rule or law would be 100% completely illegal here in Denmark, as it is clearly discriminating against a minority, based on their sexual preference, and that is without possibility of debate illegal here.
      If the cartoon reflected things like that better, I’d 100% agree.

        Ah, your responses make more sense to me now that I know that you’re not American. Political cartoons can be tough sometimes when you’re not fully immersed in the politics they refer to. I doubt I’d have any frame of reference for a political cartoon from Denmark.

          Absolutely USA is more extreme, but we also have problems of the same sort here.
          I think it’s because my way of thinking is what may be called concrete. If the cartoon had a “PRETEND” in front of anti terrorism and protect children, It would be spot on. But as it is, it seems to me to regard actual anti terrorism and child protection.
          But I can see now, that is probably how it is supposed to be understood.
