A man in a suit stands at a podium speaking to a crowd seen as dark silhouettes from behind, one of whom raises a hand. His speech balloon reads: "I want my kids taught about the past EXACTLY AS IT HAPPENED in a way that also mythologizes this country's achievements in particular while portraying bad actions as aberrations in order to instill a sense of civic pride BUT IS NOT IN ANY WAY OPINIONATED." The contradiction-packed demand is the joke. A caption below reads: "My nightmare: having to write public school history curricula." In the votey aftercomic, a close-up shows the same balding, mustached man in glasses smiling smugly, pleased with his impossible request.
