Getting Schooled: Franklin The Teacher (2002)

 There's a reason we're reacquainting ourselves with Franklin. I'll explain after you watch "Franklin The Teacher" from 2002.

Just to illustrate there's no depths low enough for the Trump administration to sink to, someone decided to co-opt Franklin for phony book covers being commissioned by the administration. For example, one phony book cover depicts Franklin as a "deportation judge", complete with robe and powdered wig (Franklin was created by Canadian Paulette Bourgeois). Another, commissioned by embattled defenseless secretary Pete Hegseth, via AI, has Franklin in a helicopter firing missiles at alleged "drug boats".

As per usual with this clown show, the administration refused to pay for licensing fees to use Franklin. Publisher Kids Can Press denounced Hegseth, and rightfully so. One can look at this as a veiled shot at Canada, which has had issues with the administration from the start. As with their refusal to pay licensing fees to musicians, including Canadian born Neil Young & Shania Twain, for example, these idiots will double & triple down, just because the president, a nearly 80 year old man with the mindset of a toddler, thinks he's above the rules. He is not. His attitude is the product of lifelong affluenza, long before that word was coined.

Franklin deserves better than being used as a political tool.
