West Ada issues response teacher told to remove inclusive poster | ktvb.com
Sarah Inama was instructed by her principal and district personnel to take down two posters — one listing classroom values and another stating “Everyone is welcome here” featuring hands of various skin tones — because they allegedly violated district policy against displaying personal opinions.
Got it. So the idea of “everyone is welcome here” is a personal opinion, only. Clearly, there are people (In charge? On the school board? Running the school? Attending the school?) that have a personal opinion that everyone is NOT welcome in the school. And we should absolutely protect that idea. That’s great to teach our kids.
“I was told that ‘everyone is welcome here’ is not something that everybody believes. So that’s what makes it a personal opinion,” Inama said, attributing these statements to building administration and district personnel.
Oh, well there you go. Confirmed.
Critics (of the district’s demand of the takedown) note apparent contradictions in the district’s approach. The memo asserts, “At West Ada, we proudly welcome all students into our buildings and classrooms—not through posters, but through the genuine connections we foster every day.”
Wait, what?
Ok, so it’s utter MAGA anti-DEI bullshit. Got it.
