You have probably read about this sign, Everyone Is Welcome Here.
When a teacher in Meridian, ID, was told to remove it from her classroom, she resigned.
The Idaho Attorney General, Raul Labrador, has declared this sign banned in Idaho schools.
They can ban the sign. They can’t ban the message.
Join us Tuesday, September 2nd
to let returning teachers and students know that we support them!
The first day back to school for LPOSD public schools is Tuesday, September 2nd. We’ll line the sidewalks ACROSS from schools waving the signs and wearing the shirts.
We will have Location Leads at the following schools and Everyone Is Welcome Here banners. Use the links below to sign up and get the exact location for each school. Also, this way we will know how many signs each location needs:
- Washington Elementary
- Farmin-Stidwell Elementary
- Lake Pend Oreille Alternative High School
- Sandpoint Jr/Sr High School
- Forrest Bird Charter School
Please REMEMBER:
- We are there to support teachers and students. Please ONLY bring “EVERYONE IS WELCOME HERE” signs for this event
- We will be there to wave and smile to show our support; we will refrain from any chanting, singing, or calling out
- First day of school is hectic! Please walk, bike, or carpool and park AWAY from the schools. We do not want to cause/contribute to any congestion.
- Remain on the sidewalks, in the area we have specified. We chose specific areas to ensure we do not get in anyone’s way!
- As always, we request that you do not engage with anyone there to disagree with our message
