From gas prices to inflation, President Joe Biden is determined to blame Russia for everything that’s going wrong — even stuff that happened before Russia invaded Ukraine.

Men can't be women. That's why conversion therapy doesn't work and the only way for a trans man to alleviate his gender dysphoria is to stop trying to be a woman.

Also, idk if CRT is Marxism, but that sounds rad so I'm going to believe it.

Rowe:

Scott Morrison fends off claim Solomon Islands-China pact is worst foreign policy failure since 1945 (Guardian).
MP is Marise Payne, the foreign minister. Z is Zed Seslja, the federal Pacific minister. Zed is a rather junior minister and the only member of government sent to the Solomons in recent months while they knew the deal was imminent - Morrison himself or the foreign minister did not go.

Pope:

David Pope is cartoonist for the Canberra Times so they know Zed Seslja as their Liberal senator (prior to that territory opposition leader). Zed is potentially in trouble this election as the Morrison government isn't too hot in the ACT. The ACT elects two senators in our preferential system which usually means it's a lock for one Labor, one Liberal (Zed) but there is a big push from both Greens and a green-friendly platform independent (former rugby player David Pocock) so Zed has been warning about the "extreme greens".

Shakespeare:

Playing "April Sun in Cuba" on the ukulele is what Scott Morrison did in an interview with 60 Minutes which why this keeps coming up in all the cartoons.

Lethbridge:

First cruise ship to arrive in Australia for two years due to COVID-19 pandemic docks in Sydney (ABC).

Leak, Son of Leak:

Zali Steggall is the independent MP (and former Olympic alpine skier) in Tony Abbott's old seat that is up against Katherine Deyes, Morrison's hand picked candidate who was apparently picked entirely for her campaign against trans people in sport (which has then spiraled as all her other views of LGBT+ people on social media are being dug up). There is a theory that the reason Morrison put Deyes in this position isn't so she wins but so this can be an issue in the campaign.

You know what this Prickly City 'storyline' makes me think of, more than anything? A show without any kind of budget, like those sitcoms where they'd leave the main set, then come back saying things like "wow that party was wild!" or "you should have seen the big game!", except this is a cartoon strip where they could draw anything they want, they're just too lazy, and too afraid of saying anything that might be mistaken for an opinion. Do we see anything about the election? No, of course not, but it's a nailbiter trust us.

Worth noting that past the headlines and talking points on this, the underlying law that the Republicans are using to do this also bars things like Common Core, which is almost certainly the actual basis for all the rejections.

From Florida's government:

quote:

78 of 132 total submitted textbooks are being included on the state’s adopted list.
28 (21 percent) are not included on the adopted list because they incorporate prohibited topics or unsolicited strategies, including CRT.
12 (9 percent) are not included on the adopted list because they do not properly align to B.E.S.T. Standards.
14 (11 percent) are not included on the adopted list because they do not properly align to B.E.S.T. Standards and incorporate prohibited topics or unsolicited strategies, including CRT.

e: The title of their press release is "Florida Rejects Publishers’ Attempts to Indoctrinate Students"

Second edit: Hey look, DeSantis actually correctly defines CRT

quote:

In 2021, DeSantis banned the teaching of critical race theory, which he described as "the theory that racism is not merely the product of prejudice, but that racism is embedded in American society and its legal systems in order to uphold the supremacy of white person."

There is a non-zero chance they simply took pdf versions of these textbooks, did word searches on them for terms like "inequality," "radical," and "trans" and since those are all over math books that resulted in bans.

I can't find the specific screenshot, but someone managed to actually wrangle an example out of them, and it was a textbook that included Social-Emotional Learning in its curriculum, on the very reasonable grounds that this was both a good thing to teach kids and learning math through the lens of treating your fellow people like humans and them returning the favor demonstrably improved students' retention rate. The ban reason was "math should only be numbers."

You're looking for the stupidest explanation, which is often a fair bet, but in this case it's actually the evilest explanation.

Yeah, in this context, "prohibited topics or unsolicited strategies" includes Common Core.

edit: a few sentences up in the same press release:

quote:

Reasons for rejecting textbooks included references to Critical Race Theory (CRT), inclusions of Common Core, and the unsolicited addition of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) in mathematics.
