While I'd quite like to believe this (who doesn't love a story about kids fighting for the right to read what they want?) I find it hard to believe that a Roman Catholic school* would ban some of these. I mean, admittedly you might censor Paradise Lost, because its Christology is certainly very dubious, but getting upset about works on human evolution is more of a fundamentalist Protestant thing, and I can't imagine why any school that didn't have a Stalinist axe to grind would want to ban Animal Farm.

But.... Dante? I'm not buying it without considerably more substantiation.



* The OP doesn't specify what kind of 'strict private school' they attend, but states that "most of the books contained information that opposed Catholicism".

I always have problems with "necessary"

[tree_and_leaf]

'Accommodation' is another good one.

It is necessary for all vicars to wear one collar and two socks, although on occasion they may instead use two collars and one sock.

Heh! That's brilliant...

I have problems with BOTH "necessary" AND "bureaucracy"!
