Theyd say Ms Hoover sounds like a republican, defending white males and being anti-sjw. Its crazy how much times have changed in such a short period:

First of all the point of the episode is about uncovering inconvenient truths in history, and then realizing that what the lie represents does more good than the inconvenient truth ever could.

Secondly Im not referring to the episodes message, Im referring to Ms Hoover specifically.

Third, women on the simpsons arent depicted like this anymore. Ever since Krabapple dumped Skinner, they stopped trying to send the message that women need a husband. Even for one off gags like this.

I dont see that happening honestly. Fox animation shows skew very left. Family Guy would do it, only because they like being edgy, but the Simpsons try to send different messages nowadays.

Your guilty conscience may force you to vote Democratic, but deep down inside you secretly long for a cold-hearted Republican to lower taxes, brutalize criminals, and rule you like a king

The only thing that might change today is the message that it's worth burying the truth to keep people happy.

You aren't meant to side with Ms Hoover in that scene. She's blaming that she's not married on feminism from an 8 year old girl. Lisa didn't do anything wrong.

Nah people should always know the truth no matter what. Only weak-willed people would make up a lie to convey a good message instead of showing them the bad truth and having them learn why it was wrong >_> Fite me irl
