This Mama Is On A Power Trip
What happens when one mother decides she knows best for all of our children?
The Georgia Board of Education has agreed to hold a public hearing on whether to keep Harry Potter books on the shelves in Gwinnett County Schools.
The October 3rd hearing is the result of a mother’s fight to banish the best sellers from her children’s elementary school. Loganville, Georgia, resident Laura Mallory says the books promote and glorify witchcraft.
The Gwinnett school board voted in May to keep the books, saying they encourage critical thinking skills and imagination.
The decision came after a public hearing on the matter and after committees of parents, teachers and students from J.C. Magill Elementary — where Mallory’s children attend — ruled that the books should remain in the school.
If you don’t want your children reading the Harry Potter books, thats fine, but leave everyone else’s children alone.
Parents, teachers, and students from the school all believe the books should remain in the school, so why are they even going to consider this at a full Georgia Board of Education meeting?
Let me guess, if she fails to convince the full board to remove the books, the ACLU will offer to jump in and file a lawsuit on her behalf, because her right to annoy the hell out of others has been violated.
