Thank you very much for your answers Eruwen. Unfortunately, my school days are long behind me so I'm not worrying about experiencing any bans directly... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] But I am interested in this phenomenon of censorship and the reasons behind it. Slightly off topic but what you have to say about banning mythology is very interesting. Unicorns, you know, were used in mediaeval Christian symbolism, as a token of purity...and of course, there is a flying horse in CS Lewis (a particularly delightful one as I remember).
If anyone else has such experiences, please do post and answer my questions if you can. Thanks.
