"Everyone welcome" is now unacceptable.

How is everyone welcome not neutral.

Because many conservatives have the opposite opinion, especially in a state like Idaho. For example, many conservatives do not welcome the children of illegal immigrants into government-run schools. Do you support allowing conservative teachers to put a sign up expressing that opinion?

No, you don't, because asking a leftist to be intellectually consistent is like asking a cat to file your taxes - both entertaining and hopeless.

From the article:

Inama's sign was said to have violated the school's "content neutral" policy, which prohibits any speech or messaging that might reflect personal opinions, religious beliefs, or political ideologies.

That's a stretch.

One could object to a "Be Kind" sign on the basis that some people would rather be hateful.

Do you believe conservatives would object to a "Be Kind" sign? I don't.

Again, here's the policy:

The sign the teacher put up is definitely sending a subtle political message, especially with all of the border and immigration nonsense going on today. Idaho is one of the most conservative states in the country.

Why are they the benchmark? I object to a "Return Your Library Books" sign. It sends a subtle political message that the state legitimately controls a means of communication through coercion.

At least the mask-off nature of Republican bigotry and white supremacy can no longer be debated, at least amongst serious people.

The cultists will continue to insist they aren't racist while they are literally doing the racism.

This ^^^ 💯%
 
No big loss. The other teachers will continue about their business, welcoming everyone, without the need for a sign to remind them to do so.

That is a horrible sign for young kids to see because it implies that only her classroom is safe and that America is a horrible place.

I would have had this traitor arrested if it were up to me.

If she hates America so bad she can get the **** out.

Yeah, I feel the same way about puting the ten commandments in classrooms.

God forbid. Teachers are in demand much like factory workers.
 
This is a terrible story to see teachers in the crossfire with these anti-DEI overreactions. "Everyone is welcome" becoming a political problem is absurd.

It's so absurd that I don't discount the possibility of the orders to remove that sign being a political stunt.

Conservatives don't like signs?

Like employees must wash hands when leaving a bathroom?

6th-grade teacher resigns rather than remove absolutely harmless sign from her classroom

Then she shared her blistering resignation letter with her local paper.

This is outrageous and disgusting. All decent people must stand up and stop this wave of destruction while we still have a country we can be proud of. D, E, and I are what make this country great.

Do you often forget that people of different races are welcme in your presence, and therefore require a sign to remind yourself?

Especially at the elementary school level. The solution there is more pay.

I agree. My daughter taught at a charter school for 6 months after graduation. Liked the kids but just not worth it considering the pay, work and time involved. I'm glad she had the experience.

In trying to research the story all I could find is articles written from the position of the teacher, and also another who also resigned for the same reasons, but very little from the state. So I acknowledge we do not have all the info on this.

But, at face value I do not understand how "everyone is welcome here" as a banner in the classroom is a problem. It is not even a DEI statement in the sense of colleges and so forth looking at who gets opportunity. Just a classroom level statement on no one is excluded.

I am truly baffled as to why this is the thing for a state to go after a teacher for.

Just checking in, did this get you the attention you were obviously craving, or can we expect more gems in this thread?

I agree that the sign could hardly be more innocuous.

Which is why I don't discount the possibility I spoke of.

If "everyone is welcome" has become a "political message" in America, just burn the whole ****ing thing down, you guys are cooked.

Don't all life's matter?

No child left behind

No shirt no shoes no service

Bigots are bigots, they need reminders of how to behave in public
