Why We’re Doing This
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.
