The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) is not allowing its students to attend a book club meeting featuring author Nadia Murad
Murad's book details how she escaped the Islamic State, where she was ripped from her home and sold into sexual slavery aged just 14 years old
The superintendent Helen Fisher said Muslim students would be offended and the book 'promotes Islamophobia'
Book club founder and TDSB parent Tanya Lee said the book 'has nothing to do with ordinary Muslims. (TDSB) should be aware of the difference'
The Board later issued an apology but still won't let the students attend the event

It’s like saying we don’t want to talk about concentration camps and gas ovens because it might give nazis a bad reputation.

They care more about rapists than rape victims. Typical leftists.

Makes no sense whatsoever. ISIS represents a tiny fraction of Muslims. It's like saying Timothy McVeigh represents Catholics.

But they’ll spend every day attacking whites and Christians because Columbus discovered North America in 1492.

It would not be offensive to Muslims if there were none.

“not allowing its students to attend a book club meeting”
Beyond the obvious Moslem concern, this is JUST a BOOK CLUB?
It’s not even like it’s a forced school assembly!
People go if they want!
Heavens! CAn’t have that!

Many things in life offend me. Fortunately my parents, the schools I attended, and life experience taught me:
1) How to ignore things.
2) How to walk away.
3) How to turn off a television or radio.
4) How to respect the rights of others to speak even if I disagree with them.
5) How to avoid people and situations that offend me.
6) How to laugh at the absurd rather than be offended.

Maybe they should organize a book burning for the students to attend instead.
