"Hate" is a very strong word, something like "It's funny how the rainbow has... because in art class today" would seem more appropriate but clearly you feel very strongly about how the Gay community have used this symbol to represent freedom.

I suppose I should watch the way I word things more carefully. Colloquially, at least where I'm from, "I hate how..." is generally just taken as hyperbole.

By the way, if you think that that art exercise "belonged in kindergarten" you weren't paying attention. It's one of many such exercises designed to get you to think differently*. By putting them in rainbow order you failed to understand the question, so it might have been better to pretend it was a deliberate mistake to make a political point and so look like you were an avant-garde genius LOL.

Distinguishing warm from cold colours and practicing shading was all the exercise was. I guess kindergarten is a gross exaggeration, but it's something I've had to do numerous times in the past (and kindergarten feels close enough to grade 6). The rainbow does indeed go from warm colours to cold colours, so I'm not sure I understand why you think I failed to understand.

If I had pretended to do it on purpose, I might have gained points in my teachers eyes, but I prefer to do that the hard way. :D
