The school acted appropriately.

- Somewhere, a bored person with an axe to grind found a pain point.

- That pain point was tested for purchase.

- The school district rolled over because judo works against choke holds.

No one will give a fuck tomorrow. Today? Today there are people desperately invested in making others give a fuck.

What's the obsession with labeling this "heresy?" Heresy is, by definition, an assault on orthodoxy (look it up). The entire discussion here is over the consequences of heterodoxy. It's an intellectually lazy argument, an edgelord strawman, in which those in power punch down under the guise of liberty. It's fucking tedious. ZOMFG, a school district had to apologize on Facebook, they'll be burning copies of The Education of Little Tree soon.
