  Case: That is against the Bible
During independent reading time one of the students was reading the book Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda. A few of my students began to whisper and point. Later the students went up to the student that was reading the book and stated that God is going to put you in hell for reading those books and you are probably gay. They walked away and the student was very upset.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think you need to address to your students that everyone is different. That people have different beliefs, values, cultures etc. The idea of being inclusive and creating a classroom environment that is welcoming to all is so important in maintaining respectful and thoughtful students. No student should be bullied by what they are reading. That can be detrimental to a student down the line and might cause fear of choosing the next book he/she wants to read.

Comments: I would have to agree. Making it clear from the get go that everyone is different and has different beliefs, values and cultures makes for a safer learning environment for students. I think reiterating the idea that everyone should be respectful of their peers, regardless of their differences- is extremely important.

Comments: Embracing our differences is key to teaching kids about society and that why we have to respect everyone because we dont get to say mean things about a different lifestyle just because it isnt our own.

Comments: I agree with this solution. I feel that many students only know their cultures and are not told that there are all sorts of people and beliefs out there and we should never judge someone for their choices as we would not want to be judged for our choices.

Comments: As stated in the response and student should never be bullied (end of story). You as a teacher seeing this should have stepped in without question. Classrooms need to be inclusive and bring students up positively not judge and bring students down. This situation needs to be addressed asap.
