  • Inama went on to argue that messages of inclusion are not political, especially when both state and federal law dictate that public schools must accept all children and cannot discriminate.

    “To say that ‘Everyone is Welcome’ in a public school system is not political, it’s the law,” Inama said.

    Inclusive sayings aren’t new to public schools, Inama noted. Back when she was a student, signs that read things like “All are Welcome” or “Everyone is Welcome” were a common way to encourage kids to feel safe and welcome and therefore ready to learn.

    “It’s all over the place. It’s not a political opinion, it’s a pretty common message,” Inama said

    Sounds like the times are trying to change the common message. Laws are already changing to be discriminatory as we speak.
