Banning Tolkien, some questions

[Lalaith]

Thank you very much for your answers Eruwen. Unfortunately, my school days are long behind me so I'm not worrying about experiencing any bans directly...

Unicorns, you know, were used in mediaeval Christian symbolism, as a token of purity...and of course, there is a flying horse in CS Lewis (a particularly delightful one as I remember).
If anyone else has such experiences, please do post and answer my questions if you can. Thanks.
