1/3: When books become contraband, everyone becomes a suspect. Welcome to the great American literacy smackdown.

Banned ideas don’t make us safer, they just make us dumber.

A single-panel color editorial cartoon shows a chaotic scene outside “Betsy DeVos Elementary,” decorated with a cheerful “BOOK FAIR TODAY!” banner and penguin artwork in windows. A frightened librarian in handcuffs is being hauled away by two armored SWAT officers as she clutches a copy of a children’s book and says, “And Tango Makes Three is Innocent!” A group of shocked kids holding penguin plush toys stand nearby, one saying, “B-b-but we liked it!” A dark van labeled “BORED OF EDUCATION” is parked beside them. A news reporter addresses the viewer into a microphone labeled NEWS, explaining that authorities have captured a suspect in a “mass reading” and removed books from children to make the building secure. The scene is exaggerated and satirical, mocking book bans and militarized responses to harmless reading.
