Within hours of Musk’s tweet, school boards and educators across the country were left scrambling to navigate the unexpected spotlight cast on an issue that many thought had already been resolved. A spokesperson for the National School Boards Association commented, “It’s not every day that the world’s richest man tweets about classroom decor. Needless to say, this isn’t something we were prepared for.”

While some school districts in conservative areas showed early signs of leaning into Musk’s controversial idea, others firmly rejected it. “We believe in fostering an environment of inclusivity and respect for all students,” said a principal at a Los Angeles high school. “If a rainbow flag makes one student feel seen, then it’s worth it.”
