*''Sweet Seymour Skinner's Badassssss Song'': On the one hand, it gives a brief condemnation of the Public School System, as Superintendent Chalmers briefly mentions that the school system will collapse at a quick rate and suggests they let it ride out. On the other hand, it promotes the [[separation of church and state]] as the reason Chalmers has Skinner get his job as principal back was solely because his replacement, Ned Flanders, introduced prayer into school, and it also briefly implies that Flanders' Christian ideals are what led to the school becoming dysfunctional.

*''Much Apu About Nothing'': Homer is initially against immigration of [[Illegal aliens]] before deciding to support it, with any criticism against illegal immigration being depicted in a negative light.

*''Mountain of Madness'': The episode has a somewhat positive depiction of work ethics, as Mr. Burns had organized a team building exercise after a disastrous fire drill demonstration, and it portrays the Nazis in a negative light via Mr. Burns's cabin-fever induced hallucination.
