For years, Sarah Inama had a poster hanging in her Idaho classroom that encouraged her sixth-grade students to be kind and inclusive with one another.
"Everyone is welcome here," it said in bright, multicolored letters atop a row of hands with varying skin tones.
The poster had never drawn any attention, until recently, when her principal and vice principal asked her to take it down.
"They told me teachers aren't allowed to have posters that show their personal or political opinions on things and this was now seen as a personal opinion," said Inama.
