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.
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.
