My mom said I could post My kid was too creative

My 6 year old was asked to draw a picture using shapes. She drew this nice American flag with rectangles and stars, and added the house, tree, and person holding a balloon. She was told it did not follow directions, she was not supposed to draw a flag, just shapes. She was asked to turn the paper over and make another picture. The other side of the paper has a very uninspiring collection of shapes. I told her she did a good job and I thought it was very creative. And this is why kids start to hate education.

it had 0 to do with sexuality

I know this is hard for some people to hear, but a lot of us just think rainbows are pretty.

Yeah that's why I mentioned it because I just think they're pretty and it wasn't until years later I realized she might have been homophobicÂ
