Banning Harry Potter

Those in Georgia will be familiar with the news story circulating about the mother requesting Harry Potter be banned from her local school system because she believes it promotes witchcraft. After being denied twice, she still may pursue her quest. Read about it on the First Amendment Center's website.

Instead of fighting, this woman and people like her need a reality check. Now I refuse to get into the debate of whether or not Harry Potter is promoting witchcraft which for the record I do not believe. The reality check I am referring to is this - just because YOU don't like a book, doesn't mean YOU get to decide whether or not I or MY child reads the book.

That's my two cents.
