"Once the [Rainbow Flag] Cat Is out of the Bag, the Ball Game Is Over"

The article uses measured, factual language focusing on the legal mechanics of pseudonymity and public records disclosure rather than moral advocacy. It centers government records and administrative procedure, presenting the teacher's challenge on procedural grounds. While the framing is fundamentally neutral on the underlying pride flag controversy, the headline's colloquial sports metaphor ('ball game is over') conveys a sense of futility that subtly frames the teacher's position as disadvantaged, though without charged editorial language.
