I think the school did over step their bounds of the parent's rights.

For example, a parent may not wish a school to make their child read a fairytale story about how a prince saved a lady.

First, I think the parent's behavior was irresponsible. If the did not want his kid to hear certain stuff, he needed to keep the kid home until the issue was resolved to the parent's satifaction. To sit in the principal's office and refuse to leave until he got what he wanted si not indicative of a good parent but rather an over grown child. Secondly, if every parent dictates what reading material a school is supposed to present we will have so many differing views that nothing would ever get picked.

Besides, the guy had other alternatives............PTA or the school board........if the did not get the satifaction he desired from the principal.
