The Simpsons appears to have predicted the unfortunate reality of a parental uproar at a Florida charter school.
Years ago, in the animated sitcom’s ninth episode of its second season (1991), titled “Itchy & Scratchy & Marge”, Marge Simpson is horrified by the violence depicted on her children’s TV show Itchy & Scratchy.
After failing to convince the production company to tone down the violence, she forms an angry mob named Snuh to join her in protesting the show’s studio.
Meanwhile, Michelangelo’s David is sent around on a tour of the US, with an expected stop in the Simpsons’s city of Springfield, angering members of Snuh.
