An assistant principal at Rodgriguez Middle School, Eric Hauser, published a children’s book on August 1 in which Pepe the Frog and his friend Centipede overpower a bearded alligator named Alkah to “restore law and order, and bring freedom back to Wishington Farm.” Now, “centipedes” are a Trump thing, which Hauser doesn’t deny, but he claims to have not known that Pepe is a meme appropriated by the alt-right.
