Banning of The Brilliant works of JK Rowling

I read somewhere over the weekend that the school board in Georgia is considering banning the Harry Potter books. The reason behind it being one of the most ridiculous I have heard EVER! Because they think that some kid is going to try to cast a spell on someone?!?! Wtf???? As the article asked, what next, ban Macbeth, ? Well, why stop there? Doesn't a house kill the witch in Wizard of Oz. That story has a couple of witches. In my own opinion, the Georgia School Board ruled correctly by not banning it. As one mother was quoted "Any child who fails to tell the difference between fantasy and reality is either too young or too immature to read it." And just what does that say about the lady who wanted to ban it in the first place?????
