Idaho AG Opinion Says ‘Everyone is Welcome Here’ sign cannot be displayed in schools
A sign that once hung quietly in Idaho classrooms—declaring “Everyone is Welcome Here”—is now officially banned. The Idaho Attorney General’s Office ruled the message violates a new state law barring political expressions in public schools. The decision follows months of controversy after a teacher refused to remove the sign, prompting national attention. Critics say the ruling weaponizes vague language to silence inclusion, while state officials argue it’s about keeping politics out of classrooms. For now, the sign is out—and the debate is far from over. Emma Epperly with Idaho Capital Sun has the full story.
