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.

A new political cartoon by Margolis & Cox shows the statue of John Harvard seated with hand to chin, pondering accusations of antisemitism on campus. Two donkey figures, one wearing a pink bow and the other a red Harvard cap, stand at the base holding books. The speech bubble reads: I WONDER WHAT PURITAN JOHN HARVARD WOULD THINK ABOUT THE ACCUSATIONS OF ANTI-SEMITISM ON CAMPUS. The April 2025 cartoon references ongoing debates at Harvard and other universities about campus protests, bias incidents, and responses to events involving Israel and Hamas.

The cartoon replaces the standard motto on Harvard's shield with the phrase Death to Israel across three books. It responds to ongoing reports of antisemitic incidents and anti-Israel protests at the university in early 2025. The image uses the official crest to underscore accusations of institutional tolerance for extreme rhetoric targeting Israel and Jewish students.
