Well, it's obvious that the principal hasn't read any of the books yet. I don't blame him for that, though it's a fickle-minded move on his part.

"Demonology?" Man, I had the same thing rapped against me. A few friends "warned" me against reading HPotter. I read it, and found the circulated email against it to be quite fabricated, if you ask me. Still, a few other warned me about LotR, which is absurd. They've never read any of these books, and instead of feeling offended (I've been bitter out of pride, but that's all okay) I feel sorry for them because they've never had the privilege of entering Middle Earth.

And I just hope that your principal, Eruwen, would think about all of this. LotR is a GREAT literary masterpiece. A school that does not promote it to its students lacks in exposure to that magnificent brach of Literature called fantasy.

...And it's really awesome that your parents are ding something about it. I hope that your parents would come up with enough reason to "unban" Tolkien.

Good luck!
