Watch "West Ada washes off chalk messages amid 'everyone is welcome here' movement" on YouTube

This story is really something. 

A teacher is told to remove an "everyone is welcome here" sign from her classroom - because that's who we are these days. 

She says no. It goes viral. The community comes out in support. They raise awareness. Sell tshirts.  Get a lot of attention. 

Then, they have a community effort to write messages of inspiration in chalk on the sidewalk around the school, and the education department. 

The school board sees it and instructs the custodial staff to "remove graffiti left by vandals."

The media picks it up and asks why they had it removed and they actually said it was so that chalk wouldn't be tracked onto the carpeting. 

You just can't make this stuff up.
