An Idaho teacher is in a standoff with her own school district after officials ordered her to remove classroom signs, including one that reads, “Everyone is welcome here.”.
Photos of the two posters show that one features the phrase “Everyone is welcome here,” with an illustration of hands in different skin tones.
The other says that everyone in the classroom is “welcome, important, accepted, respected, encouraged, valued” and “equal.”.
“I still can’t even wrap my head around what they’re referring to as far as why it’s controversial.”.
“There are only two opinions on this sign: Everyone is welcome here or not everyone is welcome here,” she says.
Feeling pressured, Inama removed the signs, but reconsidered as the decision weighed on her into the following weekend.
She says hundreds of people — including teachers across the district — have reached out to extend their support since her story became public. »
