Time for another Morgendorks! This week, we’re covering “Arts ’n’ Crass.” When Jane drags Daria into a poster contest about student life at the dawn of the millennium, it’s all working out splendidly—until they bump heads with Ms. Li and Mr. O’Neill about what constitutes acceptable speech in a school setting.

Where do Daria and Jane draw the line? (Spoiler: Right through their painting, it turns out) Can Helen be any more badass? (Spoiler: No) And is Ms. Li’s depiction just a liiiittle bit racist? (Spoiler: Uh … we really don’t know for sure)

We also look into what has happened when students in the real world have fought for their right to free speech in public school. Some of it’s awesome, some of it’s infuriating.
