It’s Official: Texas Declares Bringing a Pride Flag to the Classroom a Crime

In a move that’s sure to send shockwaves through classrooms and craft supply stores alike, Texas has officially passed a law making it a crime to bring a Pride flag to school. Yes, you heard that right—a crime. As in, “break out the handcuffs and call the sheriff, we’ve got a rainbow situation in Room 305.”

The bill, formally titled “The Classroom Sanctity Act” but unofficially dubbed “No Rainbows Allowed,” was signed into law yesterday by Texas Governor Greg Abbott in front of an audience of stone-faced lawmakers, several American flags, and what appeared to be a suspiciously monochrome color palette.
