Banning Tolkien, some questions

[Ainaserkewen]

Oro, it sounds a lot like the town I'm from. We all have to be politically correct lest someone jump down out throats, but all the most sensitive politically "correct" topics (homosexuality, abortion, witchcraft, etc.) are taboo just the same. I get pinned all the time at my Liberal, public Highschool.

In the case with the book bannings, my highschool would never dare step a toe so far out into the community to ban fiction books (Harry Potter and LOTR are in full stock on our shelves), however, one mother spoke up in the local editorials one Sunday and changed everything. She said it was inapropriate to have Bibles on School shelves. She went on 3 or 4 paragraphs explaining why. All rediculous of me, a learned woman of the world. I'm actually sitting in my school library looking at all the books lining the shelves...books on teen pregnancy, teen love, and one I just noticed called "Call of the Mall". This is our supported, politically correct culture!?

Also, through all of this contraversy pertaining to LOTR and Harry Potter pointing kids in the direction of Paganism, I can't help but wonder why the Wiccans and whatnot aren't getting as public as, say, those Christian Fundamentalists who ban babies' bottoms from satirical late night cartoon shows.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm sick of this, I'd rather just go read those bad books.
