With the schools best interest in mind, Lois runs for school board unopposed. However, when Peter discovers that Lois agree's with the firing of his favorite teacher, he jumps in the race. In order to win, Peter spreads around a dirty picture of her, and he begins to pull ahead in the race, eventually winning.

  Episode Quotes  
Lois: A woman is not an object.
Peter: Your mother is right, son. Listen to what it says.
Lois: Peter!
 
Peter: Well, a lot of nasty things have been said during this campaign. But pictures are better than words because some words are big and hard to understand.
 
Peter: Lois, you leave me no choice but killing you...in the race for schoolboard president.
 
Peter: I know, you're a feminist, and I think that's adorable, but this is grown-up time now and I'm the man.
 
Peter: Our children are our greatest treasure. They deserve a school board president who doesn't leave her feminine ointments in the fridge next to the mustard. That was the worst sandwich I ever ate! She flosses in bed. She snores like a wildebeast. She freed Willie Horton. She nailed Donna Rice.
Lois: Peter, that's enough!
Peter: Eats babies.
 
Tom Tucker: Stay tuned for our special investigative report on the clitoris, "Nature's Rubik's Cube".
 
Stewie: (picking his nose) Does this not disgust you?
Brian: Kid, you're talkin' to a guy who uses his tongue for toilet paper.
 
Peter: I'll make sex education fun!
Cartoon character: Vagina junction, what's your function? Takin' in sperm and spittin out babies!
 
Brian: Face it Peter, you get competitive about everything.
Peter: I am so not competitive. In fact, I am the least non-competitive. So I win.
 
Lee Majors: What? Women are things.
 
  Episode Goofs  
Brian tells Peter to "king" him when they are playing chess. In chess, to king someone you would have to move your peice to the opposite end of the board, but Brian does not do this. Infact, what he does isn't even a legal chess move.
 
Half of the chess peices dissapear after Brian says "king me".
 
  Cultural References  
Lois: Winning without honor isn't really winning at all. Isn't that right, Milli?

Milli Vanilli was a group made up of Rob Pilatus & Fab Morvan in the 80's/early 90's.
They won a Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1990, but soon after it was revealed that they actually did NOT sing on her album and was forced to return their awards.
 
Singers: Vagina junction, what's your function? Taking in sperm and spitting out babies.

This is similar to schoolhouse rock's famous"conjunction junction" song.
 
ED-209: You have five seconds to show me a hall pass.

This is an obvious reference to the RoboCop movies.
 
Peter: You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have...my opening statement.

Those are the lyrics to the "Facts of Life" opening theme song.
