A Georgia mother is trying to get the Harry Potter books banned from local school libraries. She says they are an evil effort to indoctrinate children in the Wicca religion. Would anyone like to bet on whether or not she’s actually read the books? Fortunately, the school board thinks she’s full of sh*t.
Ma’am, if you don’t want your kids to read Harry Potter books, don’t let them. It’s that simple. And while you’re at it, find something real to worry about.
If Wiccans had the kind of powers the kids in Ms. Rowling’s books have, this would not be an issue because they would be ruling the world. And a damned good job they’d make of it too, although I hope the sky-clad stuff would remain optional. Getting ready for “swimsuit season” is hard enough.
True. And don’t worry, skyclad is always optional, at least in public.
Despite the hype, the world of Harry Potter is quite Christian — hence the huge Christmas celebrations. I’d have to flunk all of them out of Wicca 101 if they showed up for my classes waving those wands around.
