“My classroom is full of rainbows, not as a statement but because second graders love them.”

Andrea Jakious, a teacher at Seven Oaks Elementary School in Eagle, Idaho. Idaho’s West Ada School District has been mired in controversy in recent weeks for firing a teacher who displayed a sign that said, “everyone is welcome here.” The district claimed it was contentious because it displayed hands with different skin tones. At its first public meeting since the controversy broke out, the school board heard plenty of complaints, but members said they were trying to keep politics out of classrooms. (Idaho Statesman)
