Well, I have to admit that I am not entirely against the banning of books. In Canada, it is legal to possess literature about child pornography and abuse but illegal to possess photos. I think the books and photos need to banned. So, my point being that there are legitimate reasons for the banning of books.

In regards to Eruwen's school, it is most likely a strict, Christian-based school.

Now I would also like to ask the grades of Eruwen's school. I understand that setting age requirements on reading materials make sense and that this might be an option available for the school.

Another note on to handle the debate regarding LotR and Tolkien's work in Eruwen's school might be to point out that Tolkien, himself, was a Christian and he helped CS Lewis come to know Christ and have a personal relationship with him. There are also some letters Tolkien wrote in which he states his thoughts on LotR and Christianity which might assist as well.

This is very interesting and I wonder if there are any other such incidents, as well.
