I think I can see that you are saying it is being banned in general by a DM, but that is not what we are talking about.
Actually, you do not need to specialize. If you specialize, you ban two schools in exchange for bonus spell slots in one school, or ban one school only if you are a diviner.

However, you can choose to not specialize, meaning you get no bonus spells but can use any school.
