“I noticed that he has a book — a book written by a black person — in the classroom. He’s not permitted to read those books in my classroom.”

“I noticed that he has a book — a book written by woman — in the classroom. He’s not permitted to read those books in my classroom.”

“I noticed that he has a book — a book written by a Mexican — in the classroom. He’s not permitted to read those books in my classroom.”

....all of these statements are equally offensive.



you are showing that the first line is alone in his category, lets try to fix this




“I noticed that he has a book — a religious book — in the classroom. He’s not permitted to read those books in my classroom.”

“I noticed that he has a book — a book about sexual orientations — in the classroom. He’s not permitted to read those books in my classroom.”

“I noticed that he has a book — a book about races — in the classroom. He’s not permitted to read those books in my classroom.”

“I noticed that he has a book — a book written by a gender :DD — in the classroom. He’s not permitted to read those books in my classroom.”

“I noticed that he has a book — a book about nationalities — in the classroom. He’s not permitted to read those books in my classroom.”

here you can see that the teacher may want to avoid some specific debates that would not suit the content of his class lesson, and this without making any kind of discrimination




and...

“I noticed that he has a book — a book written by a christian — in the classroom. He’s not permitted to read those books in my classroom.”

“I noticed that he has a book — a book written by a homosexual — in the classroom. He’s not permitted to read those books in my classroom.”

“I noticed that he has a book — a book written by a black person — in the classroom. He’s not permitted to read those books in my classroom.”

“I noticed that he has a book — a book written by woman — in the classroom. He’s not permitted to read those books in my classroom.”

“I noticed that he has a book — a book written by a Mexican — in the classroom. He’s not permitted to read those books in my classroom.”

now you have your "all of these statements are equally offensive"

"The boy’s father says he wants an apology from the school"
this is very reasonable request, they could ask money even if that would be exaggerate

so the teacher should apologize, not redo that mistake, and not being fired

The school did apologize but now the lawyer added more stipulations to avoid litigation.

Not all books are great. History strongly favors the victors and most writings in history are strongly skued towards an idealogy of the day.. A great example is Julius Ceaser in rome


That's not an argument to ban them though. If anything I'd say that's an argument to analyze books in greater detail

@Main Topic

I don't think any books should ever be banned. Read whatever interests you

My bookshelf has the most ridiculous combinations of books. Harry Potter, Art of War ,Of War and Peace, Grisham novel.

Heck I've read Mein Kampf out of sheer curiosity. Read whatever piques your interest.
