Even if that did happen, there would always be places to closedminded to not lift bans, and also, that wouldn't be a separation of church and state. As for the books- maybe very religious schools, or schools with strict (though not necessarily religious) beliefs may ban certain books, whether Tolkien or otherwise, and parents may know and agree, but who's the one going to school? Nobody asked the child whether they want Tolkien banned... of course, that wouldn't be fair either, and it couldn't in any conceivable way be fair. The kindergardener wouldn't know who Tolkien was. But the kindergardeners parents wouldn't know what their child's decision would have been had they been older, and decide for them. There isn't really a fair way for banning or not, I don't think.
