    Because when normal people with critical thinking skills see a rainbow in the back of a classroom, we don’t even register it. It’s not political to us at all. It’s just a wall decoration. So why would we hone in on it? Most of us probably don’t even “see” it.

    Any sign of a rainbow at all is triggering to those who lack critical thinking skills. They latch onto it and start screaming about the LGBTQ+ agenda. And they spread it to their base to fill the hate tank and get them all riled up.

    Meanwhile the rest of us are like “There was a rainbow on the wall…?”

      Usually when I see a rainbow it’s just “oh cool! A rainbow! :D” and then I go on with my day, if it’s a lgbtqia+ flag or something I may say that I like their (item the flag is on) but that’s it. It boggles my mind to think someone sees something as innocent as a rainbow and thinks that it’s something malicious and not just the person who put it up thinking it’s cool
