and put that poster up in their rooms, too. One time our district hired a new safety inspector who said we could no longer have anything made of paper on our walls and nothing hanging because he deemed it a fire hazard. We thought it was a joke. In an elementary school classroom every wall is full of children’s work, teaching posters and seasonal decorations. We all got together and everyone agreed to just ignore it and we took nothing down. The principal was kind of on the fence but we held together. We got the middle school and high school to stand with us. We got a firefighter to back us up saying that did not constitute a fire hazard. The safety inspector had to back off. I wish all the teachers would back her up and hopefully the parents of those wonderful students supporting her. I admire her immensely for standing up for the children and what is right. Seeing the students with their signs and chants was heartwarming. The administrator’s outlook was so obviously transparent when he thought the words without the multi-colored skin tone hands would be okay. More MAGA crap inventing a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist in the first place. Will we ever evolve past this! I guess I will keep holding out hope from the young people’s response. Thank you for posting the whole segment.
