The reading list is intended for British schools. We don't have neo-Nazi Evangelical book-burners in the UK; that's an American phenominon.

With regard to making The Hobbit compulsory reading or not: I own my own introduction to Tolkien to the fact that my brother's school set it for compulsory study, back in the early 1960s. My brother brought the book home, I read it and was hooked.
