Crazy lady in Georgia wants to get all “evil” books out of schools - UPDATED
I blogged previously about the crazy lady in Georgia who wants to get all Harry Potter books off the shelves; here’s an update:
Mallory, unsatisfied with the outcome, appealed the decision and a second hearing was held yesterday. Mallory rehashed her previous points regarding why the books should go, saying "Witchcraft is being mainstreamed to our kids today but people are not aware of it. They think these books are fantasies but Wicca is a real recognized religion."Gwinnett County Schools attorney Victoria Sweeny says that under Mallory’s reasoning, school bookshelves could become virtually empty, as she began to list many other stories with witches as characters, including Macbeth and Sleeping Beauty.
Apparently she finds the books so disturbing she says she’s never completely read any of them. But surely that’s a necessity in order to dub them ‘evil.’
Additionally, in an effort to strengthen her argument, she referenced the past week’s school shootings, saying that "you would think that we would want to do everything we can to get any form of evil out of our schools now."
That’s pretty low, bringing in DEAD KIDS to support your crazy reasoning.

This woman is insane. Really, the courts should be locking her up for a long time…also someone should mention to her that wichcraft is, in fact, not real but merely a fictional device that Rowling has used to inspire her novels. Crazy…seriously.
