Motivated by the notion of nice graphs, we introduce the concept of strongly nice property, which can be used to study the Schur positivity of symmetric functions. We show that a graph and all its induced subgraphs are strongly nice if and only if it is claw-free, which strengthens a result of Stanley and provides further evidence for the well-known conjecture on the Schur positivity of claw-free graphs. As another application, we solve Wang and Wang's conjecture on the non-Schur positivity of squid graphs $Sq(2n-1;1^n)$ for $n \ge 3$ by proving that these graphs are not strongly nice.
