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.”
In response to the backlash from some schools, Musk followed up with another tweet: “Don’t get me wrong, kids can still have rainbows in their drawings… just not plastered on the walls in the name of an agenda.”
As usual, Musk’s comment quickly spilled beyond the confines of social media and the classroom, sparking discussions in boardrooms and offices across the country. Many of Musk’s peers in the business world chose to stay silent on the matter, not eager to wade into yet another one of his Twitter storms. However, some did voice their opinions.
