If the class were on modern literature then I could see the subject of
Harry Potter coming up. The rest of the discussion of JK Rowling and
her opinions on trans people really doesn't belong in any class, not
even one on philosophy or modern events. It's just not worthy of
discussion in a class on anything other than a class on JK Rowling
which wouldn't belong at any school.

Please stop repeating this everybody. She DID NOT offer an opinion on
trans people. At other times, she expressed sympathy for what they've
gone through.
She offered an opinion on denial that WOMEN and their needs exist. A charity distributing much-needed feminine hygiene products in Africa, in rural
areas in which they are not available, refused to say "women" on their literature. JK Rowling was appalled at the virtue signalling and wrote
a sarcastic comment to that effect. The charity wrote about products for "people who menstruate" or something like that, and later claimed that
they were trying not to offend certain women in amenorrhea, either
because of disease or menopause. Somehow other women experiencing normal periods might be offensive to other women in amenorrhea, something no
such woman has ever said.
She offered no opinion of trans people. This was, is, and always will be
a lie.

She's said other things since then directly about transgenders in both
sport and in prisons and in women's private spaces, like locker rooms
and showers.

Might as well. She was already being slammed.
As far as I'm concerned, she's still speaking up for women's rights.

Look, you could just take a few High School remedial reading courses,
and you too could eventually qualify to take a literature class.
