The cartoon by John Cole published April 21, 2025, shows a school district perched on Donald Trump's head, waving a resist sign. Large text reads Teach Freely and D.E.I. Hard. The image responds to ongoing disputes between the Trump administration and public schools over diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Schools have pushed back against federal efforts to limit such initiatives and related discussions of race, gender and pronouns. The parody draws on the Die Hard film series to frame the resistance.
