Plot Overview

The plot of "Death Camp of Tolerance" unfolds with Mr. Garrison trying various tactics to provoke his employers:

  • He openly engages in highly inappropriate conduct in front of his students.
  • He introduces a new, equally provocative teaching assistant, Mr. Slave, into the classroom.
  • His actions are designed to be so offensive that the school administration would have no choice but to fire him for cause.

Ironically, instead of firing him, the school staff and parents, fearing accusations of intolerance, are forced to tolerate his behavior, leading to comedic and absurd situations, including the infamous "death camp of tolerance" concept for those deemed intolerant. This episode highlights themes of political correctness and the limits of tolerance in society.
