Can a student have their religion impuned by faculty and forced to read a textbook that denegrates their Christian Beliefs and places Islam first i.e. Ishmael by Dan Quin and the faculty refuses to give equal time to Satanic Verses by Salmon Rushdie? , and will not explore other alternative texts in a Public Community College? I thought there was Academic Freedom in California Public Colleges?

This isn't a question of religious discrimination. It is merely one of the subject matter presented in a course. It would be perilous and unacceptable for students, parents, administrators, or others to be in a position to dictate the content of a professor's course in a public institution. This is not the case in a private college or university, however.
