The book has been banned in several Roman Catholic private schools as well as other heavily Roman Catholic establishments. It has even been completely banned in the country of Lebanon due to the fact it was deemed offensive to the catholic church. What amazes me is the fact that it hasn't been banned in more places just due to the fact it was so controversial.
In my Mind, I believe that this book should be allowed in schools and should not be banned. It is just an idea, not fact, and is a story. The public should be allowed to read it because it shows another view on the idea of christianity. It is not "anti-christian" or anything like that, rather it is just a theory of what could have happened. I think we should be able to read it because not only is it just a story, but also because personally, I thought it was a well written story.
So the discussion question is;
Even if a book covers religion, should we be able to read it in a school setting?

I think anyone should be able to read anything they want. the only circumstances i think someone should not be able to read a book of their choice is if they are an elementary student and the content of the book was inappropriate. If the book does no harm to anyone in anyway than i think the book should not be banned. And its not like the book is telling you that you have to believe it or anything it is just a story. Anyways it is a great book and i think if people want to read it in a school setting then i think it should be allowed. -amber loken-
