Whacking Day (Springfield Animals episode)

"Whacking Day" is an upcoming episode of The Simpsons: Springfield Animals television series. It is a remake of Whacking Day.
==Plot==
During an inspection by Superintendent Chalmers, Principal Skinner lures Bart, Jimbo, Kearney, Dolph and Nelson into a utility basement with the promise of free mountain bikes and locks the door. Bart escapes through a ventilation shaft and takes Groundskeeper Willie's tractor for a joyride, accidentally crashing into Chalmers who receives medical treatment from the cafeteria lady. Chalmers is so furious, Skinner is passed over for a promotion and Skinner promptly expels Bart from the school for costing him a promotion. After Bart is quickly expelled from a new private Christian school, Marge decides to homeschool Bart.
Meanwhile, Kent Brockman announces that Springfield's annual "Whacking Day" is approaching. Each year on May 10, the people of Springfield drive snakes to the center of town and beat them to death. The tradition appalls Lisa, who finds no support from any of the adults of the town. Mayor Quimby arrives to begin the festivities, but is disgusted and quickly leaves when he discovers what the holiday is about.
After Marge takes Bart on a field trip to Olde Springfield Towne, Bart discovers that the origins of Whacking Day, which supposedly involved Jebediah Springfield, is a lie because it conflicts with a major Revolutionary War battle in which he took part, and suggests to Lisa that they lure the snakes to safety by playing music with a lot of bass and putting the stereo speakers to the ground. White, who just happens to have been walking by, agrees to help by singing "Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe" (with different lyrics to fit the situation), attracting hundreds of snakes into the house.
The pursuing crowd arrives, but they are soon turned around on the subject of Whacking Day by Bart's newfound knowledge. It turns out that the day was actually invented in 1924 as an excuse to beat up the Irish. Lisa also tells the town about the positive influences that the snakes have had on the town folks, such as killing rodents. The town agrees to give up the tradition and Skinner is impressed with Bart's efforts, welcomes him back to the school as a reward for his studying and reunite with the rest of the students and upon beginning to say the names of his former acquaintances (Jimbo, Kearney, Dolph and Nelson), but then realizes in horror that he completely forgot all about the bullies, who are spending the time in the basement talking about their feelings and giving each other hugs. Skinner and Willie race to the school with the mountain bikes to avoid a potential lawsuit. When Willie asks Skinner what they will do if they boys have died after being forgotten for days, Skinner assures him that the two of them will ride the bikes into Mexico. However, Willie mutters to himself that he plans on turning Skinner over at the Mexican border.
