This getting funnier and funnier...uhmmm in a sad pathetic racist way!
Sarah Inama, a sixth-grade history teacher at Lewis and Clark Middle School in Meridian, Idaho, has been involved in a controversy after being ordered by the West Ada School District to remove classroom signs stating "Everyone is welcome here" and another affirming that everyone in the classroom is "important, accepted, respected, encouraged, valued, and equal
The district's rationale for demanding the removal of these signs was based on their interpretation that the messages violated district policies requiring classroom content to be neutral and respectful of differing opinions. Specifically, administrators argued that in the current political environment, the phrase "Everyone is welcome here" constitutes a personal opinion rather than a universally accepted principle
Initially, Inama complied with the directive but felt deeply unsettled by the decision. After reflection, she reinstated the signs, expressing her belief that these messages represent fundamental values of public education rather than personal opinions. She argued that the only opposing viewpoint to such inclusivity would inherently be exclusionary or racist
The district further clarified its position by referencing Idaho's Dignity and Nondiscrimination in Public Education Act, emphasizing that classroom decorations must acknowledge differing viewpoints and remain content-neutral. Officials expressed concern that these signs could inadvertently create division or controversy due to their perceived political implications
Despite multiple warnings and legal reviews from district officials, Inama has refused to remove the signs permanently. The district has given her until the end of the school year to comply or face potential disciplinary action, including possible termination
Inama's stance has drawn widespread public attention and support from educators and advocates who view her situation as emblematic of broader debates over diversity, equity, and inclusion within educational settings
The funniest part is this...
The district argued that the objection to the sign is because the hands are all multi-color, if they were all white for example, then the sign would have been OK by them!
I mean sure...we have no racist running Idaho school district, but you know...we like all white hands!
Diving Mullah
