A suburban Atlanta school board has voted to terminate the contract of a teacher who read a book about gender identity to gifted fifth-graders – the latest salvo in a nationwide clash over how issues like gender and race are discussed in public school classrooms.

    Divisive almost always means liberal in these contexts. I find the bible divisive, but I doubt any teacher would get fired for quoting or even directly reading from it.

      It seems that the law in question is pretty focused on not making white people feel uncomfortable about racism.

        Racism, or the existence of lgbtq people.

          Well, the law itself (I just looked it up) focuses entirely on race. I don’t see how it even applies to the scenario in the OP.
