In honor of an Idaho teacher who resigned after being “pushed” to remove an “Everyone Is Welcome” here poster in her classroom, the nation’s largest teachers union is offering special “toolkits” of the same name.
Sarah Inama left her West Ada School District middle school gig in the spring, according to Idaho Education News, but has since been hired by the Boise School District.
In a statement, Inama had written it was “extremely disturbing and embarrassing to see a district prioritize appeasing individuals with racist perspectives over celebrating the diversity and beauty of all our students.”
The National Education Association toolkits “inspired” by Inama were announced on the union’s Instagram page a little over a week ago.
“Every student deserves to feel safe, seen, and supported at school,” the announcement reads. “This new year, we recommit to welcoming our students with courage, joy, and classrooms free from bias or discrimination.
“These kits are a visible way for educators to affirm every student’s right to learn and thrive no matter what they look like, where they’re from, or how they identify.”
The kits were available to the first 1,000 members who signed up for one. They were created in partnership with the groups Advocates for Youth, Subject to Climate, and Planned Parenthood.
Most likely have heard of Planned Parenthood, but what about the other two?
