Recently in the Boise area there has been a continuing story regarding Sarah Inama, a 35-year-old world civilization teacher at Lewis and Clark Middle School in Meridian. She was told to take down posters which have been hanging in her class since she started working there four years ago. The story also was discussed in a nine-minute YouTube video from Chris Hayes at MSNBC on March 19, 2025 titled Idaho teacher fights back after order to remove ‘Everyone is Welcome Here’ poster.
The story was discussed in two articles by Brian Holmes at KTVB7 – one on March 11, 2025 titled West Ada School District teacher ordered to remove inclusive signs from classroom and another on March 12, 2025 titled West Ada issues sports analogy response to teacher told to remove ‘everyone is welcome here’ poster.
There also have been a series of brief YouTube videos at KTVB7. One on March 10, 2025 is titled Idaho teacher ordered to remove “Everyone is welcome here” sign from classroom. A second on March 12, 2025 is titled Idaho school district issues memo regarding teacher told to remove “Everyone Is Welcome Here” poster. A third on March 13, 2025 is titled Idaho school district responds after telling teacher to remove inclusive signage from classroom. A fourth on March 20, 2025 is titled ‘Everyone Is Welcome Here’ shirts made by the thousands opposing West Ada’s decision.
UPDATE March 23, 2025
I missed a fifth video from KTVB7 on March 17, 2025 titled “Everyone is welcome here’: Idaho organizations join Wassmuth Center campaign. On October 27, 2024 I blogged about A new building at Boise’s Wassmuth Center for Human Rights with quotations carved in stone.
