Wanna Be Book Banner Loses Appeal. May Appeal.

As expected, Laura Mallory lost her appeal to the Georgia Board of Education…

A mother who fought to ban Harry Potter books from her children’s suburban Atlanta school district is considering an appeal after the Georgia Board of Education voted today to keep the books on the county’s library shelves.

The board members voted without discussion in support of the Gwinnett County school board’s decision to deny Laura Mallory’s request to remove the best-selling books from school libraries.

An appeal to the Superior Court would likely allow Mallory to bolster her case with expert testimony and witnesses, which she says the state board had banned her from using.

I have a feeling this is just getting interesting.
