My favorite take:

Americans decide to relocate Noon to a 13h target, thus redefining the clock's meaning.

Changing school times cannot happen in isolation. That will also cause work times to shift to match their drop-off and pick-up times. So as work times for parents shift, so would opening hours for restaurants and shops and finally the society as a whole adjust their daily routines by an hour.
