Wow, I am very shocked to hear about this blatant disregard for such a wonderful book and Genre! Shouldn't schools be encouraging people to read? And I would very much like to hear the logic behind the idea that reading about the demolition of evil encourages Satanic worship!AGGGGHHH [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]!This topic is something I feel very strongly about, because, as a student who very much likes to read, I think that students should be being encouraged to read different genres and styles by teachers; it's their duty!
Luckily, at my school, the teachers are not that strict(at least not in the Tolkien aspect), and I can usually have an interesting conversation about the books with teachers who have read them. Also, as we all know, Tolkien was a devotedly religous man, so he would have never written the books with intentional religious disregard. Right, thats my go on the matter, Next!
