The video also inspired discussions about school funding. On February 13th, 2023, Twitter[5] user @HolderStephen retweeted the video, writing, "The issue isn’t that these kids have too much at their disposal. Rather, it’s that so many kids (and other districts) have so little," garnering over 840 likes in three days (shown below, left). On February 14th, Twitter[6] user @GoodVibePolitik made a post about how Carmel High "demonstrates the problem with how we fund U.S. public schools," garnering over 31,000 likes in two days (shown below, right).

James Ray @GoodVibePolitik Carmel High School really demonstrates the problem with how we fund U.S. public schools. Carmel, a hyper wealthy community, was able to put up a college-sized school while many other schools in Indiana struggle to even get updated textbooks and updated classrooms.
