MERIDIAN, Idaho — The West Ada School District has reportedly washed away some of the artwork created on Sunday at the "Chalk the Walk" protest, which came about in response to the district telling one of their teachers to remove a sign in her classroom that says "Everyone is Welcome Here."
People of all ages gathered for the event at the West Ada School District office, showing support for Lewis and Clark Middle School teacher Sarah Inama.
By Monday morning, however, much of the sidewalk art had been washed away. Several Idaho News 6 viewers said that they saw someone hosing down the sidewalks early Monday morning before school began.
The district says that the artwork was only washed away near doorways or if the artwork contained profanity.
The West Ada School District is the largest district in Idaho — the Boise School District is the second largest and responded to the recent situation on Monday with a Facebook post saying "In our schools, everyone is welcome," accompanied by a photo of district staff in "Everyone is Welcome" t-shirts.
