For almost 55 years, from Vietnam thru Iraq x2, thru Afghanistan and now Iran, #Doonsbury has documenty the idiocy behind war.
A Doonesbury comic strip by Garry Trudeau, dated February 18, 2024, depicts a high school history class discussing the cause of the Civil War. The teacher writes "slavery" on the board and explains its role in the war, citing historical documents. Some students react skeptically, with one wondering if they should report her. The teacher also highlights lesser-known facts, such as white Southerners who fought for the Union. A student compares these individuals to "Never-Trumpers" of their time. Another student points out that in Florida, teaching this history may be illegal. The teacher confirms this with a resigned "Sadly, yes." The class then helps the teacher escape, warning her to take I-95 North and text them when she crosses the border, implying she must flee due to restrictive education laws.
Take the I-95. But to where?
