What are you not understanding?
you don't kick a black person out of a diner because they are black, you kick a person out of a diner because they are being rowdy.
you don't ban a book cuz religion, you ban a book because you specifically assigned sci fi books, not religious books.
Sci-fi and fantasy are pretty closely related! buh-dum tssh
I say let the kid read the Bible any time he wants during classes. Then when he tries to get the teacher fired because he's failing, he has even less of a case.

the issue is that religion is soely the issue.
telling a kid he cant read playboy because its porno isn't an issue, its not religion, ethnicity, gender.... you cant read porno because its porn is a more than accepatable reason.
you cant read books filled with curse words and racisim is a viable reason.
you cant read books because they are religious is not.
This is the most unapologetically stupid thing I've read in quite a while.
also you forgot creed. I would make sure to let the kid's parents know that the teacher will be reading Nation of Yahweh propaganda and the Satanic Bible at her desk during free reading, and they WILL be okay with that.
