Antar, where is "here"?
As for the banning, I guess they'll have to ban the Bible as well, with all those flying chariots and parting sea's and water into wine and live-human spitting whales and dudes raising from the dead ............. magic indeed !!!

wow... Lord of the Flies is banned now? I remember actually reading that one in school.
Pretty soon the only books allowed in school will all be endorsed with Orwellian "Ministry of Education" stamps.

Course that's the benifit of growing up in a small community instead of a larger one.
I mean anything that gets a child reading is a good thing and should be allowed.

What your dealing with is censorship plain and simple. There is no way that this should happen in this day and age.

Not only did we have to read Lord of the Flies, we also had to watch a film of it in class.
Surprising they'd now be banning the book. What's the point? As soon as kids hear a book is banned, they're off to find it and read it to see what the fuss is.

Or, I would probably take it a step further and bring in an actual book of Wiccan spells. I mean, kids can read bibles in school, right?
