Banning Tolkien, some questions - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I am a teacher in the UK, and I have never heard of books being banned here. As far as I'm aware, we don't have the ability to do that. I know that our library has a restricted section though, and books with explicit sex are only allowed to be lent out to Year 10 and over, unless the kids have a letter from the parent.
I am very strongly against banning books in any way. [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]
