I can't speak to whether educators may not incorporate books about Islam specifically, but I do know some teachers who are open to some of the LGBTQ books we've discussed previously but are afraid to have them in their classrooms, so I imagine that fear extends to other subject matters for some people. Aside from how aceepting/embracing the parents in the community are, the culture of the school building probably matters a lot. Is there a culture of fear or one of support for teachers' decisions, diversity and critical thinking?
