Here's the latest book-banning story. ONE PARENT (who hasn't even read the books) wants the entire "Harry Potter" series banned in all Gwinnett County, Georgia, public school libraries! Why don't the librarians, and the other parents, tell her to go hang herself? I thought it was the majority that ruled, not 1 single idiot!

LAWRENCEVILLE — The “Harry Potter” book series may soon be taken off the shelves of all media centers in Gwinnett County Public Schools if a parent’s appeal is successful. A parent of students at J.C. Magill Elementary School filed appeal forms for each of the books, requesting the wildly popular series be removed from public school libraries. On the forms, she wrote that she objected to the series’ “evil themes, witchcraft, demonic activity, murder, evil blood sacrifice, spells and teaching children all of this.” She wrote she had not read the series because it is long, and she is a working mother of four.
