LOTR banned!!!!! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I have an idea! Why stop at the banning of LotR? Why not ban The Chronicles of Narnia, The Wizard of Oz, and ANYTHING ELSE THAT FORCES THE READER TO USE HIS/HER IMAGINATIONS(which, I believe, is something that teachers are/should be trying to do)?!? Come on! At least people are reading; there are worse things that students could do during school (drugs, for example). I know this post doesn't actually help anyone; I'm just trying to make a point like everyone else.

And that is simply the amplified amity we feel as furred and purred beings.
