I haven't read the book,so I don't know how far the ideas slant from Christianity.But the article refers to not just a Christian school,but a school from a particular sect of Christianity,Catholicism.Keeping that in mind,I can see why they would ban the book from the library,or ban the teachers from using it for a class project.As it has nothing to do with Catholicism.But not an outright ban,as in confiscation if brought into the school by a pupil to read during spare time.
If on the other hand this was happening in a public school(banning),I think we would all have a reason to be concerned about which direction our children are being brain washed...Oh sorry guided.
