I find it rather amusing (in a sad sort of way) that your principal proceeded to ask if there were demons in the book and didn't know who Tolkien is. From this it seems to me that your principal is attacking fantasy books in general, along with anything else he doesn't approve of for whatever vague reason he gives. As a Christian, I cannot believe that another Christian would think Tolkien's books a result of the study of demons unless he had not actually read them. Whenever I read The Lord of the Rings, many, many Christian themes jump out at me. And, of course, there is the fact that Tolkien greatly influenced C.S. Lewis to turn to Christianity. I agree with the others who have suggested that you write a letter to the editor. You have my sympathy [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
