WELCOME: Signs removed is disappointing

| September 10, 2025 1:00 AM

The Coeur d’Alene School District’s decision to remove “Everyone is Welcome Here” signs from classrooms is deeply disappointing. These signs do not violate Idaho’s new flag law. They are simple, powerful reminders that every child, no matter their background, belongs in our schools.

By choosing to follow Attorney General Labrador’s opinion rather than the plain text of the law, the district sends the wrong message: that inclusion is controversial, and that kindness has no place in classrooms. Nothing could be further from the truth. Our students thrive when they feel safe, accepted, and respected.
