Summary
Idaho teacher Sarah Inama is defying her school district’s order to remove classroom posters promoting inclusivity, including one stating, “Everyone is welcome here.”
The district claims the signs violate a policy requiring “content-neutral” decorations and argues that classrooms should be “distraction-free” environments.
Inama initially removed them but later rehung them, arguing the only opposing view to inclusion is exclusion.
Legal counsel upheld the district’s stance, giving her until the school year’s end to comply. Inama refuses, risking her job, and has received widespread support from the community and educators nationwide.

Take notes everyone, this is just one small example of what “fuck you, make me” looks like. This teacher has more spine than Chuck Schumer and half of our administrative state.
Remember, with Republicans, cruelty is the point!

Smart teacher. That is, indeed, the only logical stance.
They don’t do logic in the present day US.
It’s more about the teacher than those who are in charge. That logical conclusion is also the only morale one. I hope she stays strong and fights this oppression.
Fascists Enforce Their Draconian White Supremacist Rules
Media needs to grow an ethical backbone and start calling out these pricks and their policies for what they are.
How is “everyone is welcome” not “content -neutral”?
Acknowledging that there is a goal of equality within society at all is now legally non-neutral. There is legal pressure to allow white supremacy, patriarchy, and xenophobic christian nationalism to exist as they are without any pressure to change them. To acknowledge that disadvantaged classes of people exist and face discrimination in any form is illegal, or at least that is their intent.
Because it doesn’t express support for fascism.
The message was supposedly fine, but you can’t have it delivered by someone with brown skin.
Seriously: “the district told the Statesman that it was not the message that was at issue, but rather the hands of different skin tones on the poster.”

Wow. What colour hands would they recommend? Let me guess…
Can we get a location rule? Like [USA, Idaho] at the end of the title? We know it’s the USA, but it’d bw nice to know where. Also, state or country names when it’s just a city or town. Like I’m supposed to know if it’s Paris France or Paris Illinois.
As close as I could get. I couldn’t find in a brief search of the site if there was a staff lookup. But I’m pretty sure you can look up an licensed teacher if you know what state they’re in, which Is how I found that she’s licensed and active in that district.
I live nearby. Yes. West Ada School district in Ada county.
Thought they believed “all lives matter”?🤔
They also go on about free speech. Their words mean nothing.
