In trying to prevent Islamophobia, Canada’s largest school board has proved itself to be Islamophobic itself. Good work.

According to a report earlier this month in The Globe and Mail, the Toronto District School Board pulled high school students out of a book club event featuring a former Islamic State group sex slave.

Nadia Murad, a Nobel Prize-winning activist, was set to appear before the A Room of Your Own Book Club in February of next year to discuss her memoir, “The Last Girl: My Story of Captivity, and My Fight Against the Islamic State.”

The book club, organized by Tanya Lee, invites hundreds of teenage girls — many of them from low-income families — to read a book and then discuss it with the author virtually. The club is promoted by educators, including school principals and teachers.
