Posters with the bold headline “IMMIGRANTS WELCOME” above an image of barbed wire being severed with a wire cutter were displayed in hallways and classrooms at River Road/El Camino del Rio Elementary School in Eugene, Oregon, KLCC-FM reported.
But “IMMIGRANTS WELCOME” weren’t the only words that students — kindergartners through fifth-graders — could see.
The following text is in the center of the posters: “The border is not a wall – it’s a system of control. It doesn’t protect people; it pits them against each other. It doesn’t foster togetherness; it breeds resentment. It doesn’t keep out predators; it gives them badges and guns.”
It goes on: “The border does not divide one world from another. There is only one world, and the border is tearing it apart.”
