Laura Mallory Loses Another Appeal

I first posted about Laura Mallory on July 1st of last year when she attempted to force Harry Potter books from the shelves of Gwinnett County Schools.
Since then, she lost her case with the Gwinnett County School Board and then she lost her appeal to the Georgia Board of Education. Today, a Superior Court judge upheld the decision of the Georgia Board of Education.
The adventures of boy wizard Harry Potter can stay in Gwinnett County school libraries, despite a mother's objections, a judge ruled Tuesday.
Laura Mallory, who argued the popular fiction series is an attempt to indoctrinate children in witchcraft, said she still wants the best-selling books removed and may take her case to federal court.
She is so blind to her cause that she doesn't even realize what she's saying anymore. For example:
At Tuesday's hearing, Mallory argued in part that witchcraft is a religion practiced by some people and, therefore, the books should be banned because reading them in school violates the constitutional separation of church and state.
But then, in the very next sentence she states,
"I have a dream that God will be welcomed back in our schools again," Mallory said. "I think we need him."
She can't have it both ways. If she wants Harry Potter out because witchcraft is a religion, then she can't have God back in the school either. Maybe she just supports separation of church and state when it's not her church that seems to be involved?
