Elon Musk has caused debate by saying that Pride flags should be permanently banned from schools.
This comes after athlete Imane Khelif was let go, which has brought up more talks about LGBTQ+ people in sports and schools. People have different opinions about Musk’s idea. Some think it helps create a fair learning environment, but others say it makes it harder for LGBTQ+ people to be seen and respected, especially in places where young people feel safe.
His comments happened around the same time as Khelif’s situation, so many people are linking the two.
LGBTQ+ supporters say banning Pride flags could make students feel less included, while some agree with Musk that schools should stay neutral about politics. This discussion shows how people feel strongly about LGBTQ+ rights and how famous people can affect these conversations.
