Attorney General: 'Everyone Is Welcome Here' Sign Cannot Be Displayed in Idaho Schools
- Idaho's attorney general issued a legal opinion just before July 1, 2025, banning 'Everyone is Welcome Here' signs in public schools across the state.
- This opinion responded to concerns after House Bill 41, passed in March 2025, barred banners or flags that express political, ideological, or religious views in K-12 schools.
- The ban specifically targets signs like those displayed by teacher Sarah Inama since 2017, which feature multiracial cartoon hands and the phrase 'Everyone is Welcome Here.'
- The attorney general's office characterized these signs as emerging from a political and social movement that began in Minnesota’s Twin Cities after Donald Trump won the presidency and highlighted their adoption as political symbols by the Democratic Party.
- The ruling led to school districts enforcing removal of such signs and prompted the state education department to issue guidance and create a complaint form for policy enforcement starting July 1, 2025.
