Since America just elected a president who has a history making offensive remarks against many groups of people, it is an important time to elevate those who feel isolated and remind them that they matter.

Twitter user Micah Sifry shared a note a teacher hung on his classroom door that aims to do just that.

"A dear old friend who is an NYC high school teacher posted this on his door at school today," Sifry captioned the photo on Twitter.

It reads:

I love my Muslim students. I love my black students. I love my Hispanic students. I love my gay students. I love my disabled students. I love my poor students. I love all of my students and I will fight for you, no matter what.

And if he, or anyone else builds that wall, or any wall between us,

I will teach my students how to tear it down.

The internet responded kindly, for the most part.

While some responded less than enthusiastically, supporters of the note were quick to defend it.

Props to this awesome teacher.
