Boise school district shows West Ada how it should be done
https://www.idahostatesman.com/opinion/from-the-opinion-editor/article302784889.htmlThe Boise School District responded in the right way to the controversy over the “Everyone is Welcome Here” poster that got a West Ada school teacher in trouble. Who would have thought that a poster saying “Everyone is Welcome Here,” along with drawings of hands of different skin colors, would be considered controversial?
Yet, the West Ada School District ordered the teacher, Sarah Inama, to take the poster down, along with another poster that read, “In this room, everyone is welcome, important, accepted, respected, encouraged, valued, equal,” with each word in a different color that looks dangerously like — gasp — a rainbow.

The community responded by holding a chalk the walk event. Then the school nazis/cowards washed away chalk art that conveyed that yes, all are welcome.
What is wrong with these right wing assholes?
