Harry Potter

Item: NY Times reports that Harry Potter books are under fire by a parent in Gwinnett County, GA. They actually had hearings on the question. Opponents claim the books are all about evil. Students attending the hearing said they did not confuse fiction with reality. Potter's books are the most popular books in this Atlanta suburbs library. " I want to protect my kids, children and others from evil, not fill their minds with it, " said Laura Mallory, a parent. A hearing officer will make a recommendation to the school board within five days and the board has 10 days to decide if the novels stay on the shelves. The hearing officer? The board? Hmmmmm? F.451?
