I agree with Red that banning the books if they were a disruption in the classroom - geez, that last sentence sure sounded like an oxymoron - Reading anything in class while the the teacher is trying to do her job would be considered very rude. (OK, yeah, I used to do it, too.)

But it seems that the principal in Eruwen's school is banning the books because of content. It's one thing if he doen't want to list the book on the school's "official" reading list, but to tell students that they can't read the book on school property on their own time is just plain, wrong!
