There are around 13,000 school districts in the US, most with many constituent schools, each supporting many hundreds of families. Even if everything about this story is credible (remember, their job is to sell page views, not to inform you), all we've got is one school district in which there was simultaneously a crazy parent and an incompetent school board.

Ender's Game is also not a "tiny bit" violent, and although its characters are all young, it was not written specifically for young readers.

(In my house, the boy read Ender's Game when he was 10; the girl heard an audio version of it at 9, and "Ender's Shadow", which is more explicit, was on the bookshelf in the boy's 6th grade class room).
