A woman who maintains that the Harry Potter books are an attempt to teach children witchcraft is pushing for the second time to have them banned from school libraries.

crazy woman

...the books were harmful to children who are unable to differentiate between reality and fantasy.

The children, she said, try to imitate Harry Potter and cast spells on classmates.

"They're not educationally suitable and have been shown to be harmful to some kids," Mallory said.

Okay, kids who are seriously trying to cast spells on classmates are either really "special", or they are just being silly and she is paranoid.

crazy woman

Referring to the recent rash of deadly assaults at schools, Mallory said books that promote evil - as she claims the Potter ones do - help foster the kind of culture where school shootings happen.

LOL...so kids are going to read Harry Potter and then go buy assault weapons and shoot up the school?

Why in the hell would we ban books just for the sake of these few alleged kids that cannot tell fantasy from reality? You know what else would be "harmful to children who are unable to differentiate between reality and fantasy"? Almost anything on TV, or movies, or fictional books. Go watch any kids cartoon, and tell me if any human would survive if they tried to act it out. If kids watch Tom and Jerry and then go hit their mom on the head with a frying pan, and stick dynamite in their brothers ass because they saw it on TV, then guess what, its either the parents fault, or the kid just has mental problems. It doesnt mean that cartoons etc are evil just because some zombified kids will do anything they see, hear, or read.
