No, she should have NEVER tried to stop kids from reading it but is it really fair to call her an idiot? Poor lady, she's probaly crying right now. Now don't get me wrong, i'm not on her side but i am not on the side who's calling her an idiot. i would've suggested that she voiced her opinions but didn't try to ban them. well actually number one i would tell her to read them. is this is how it's going to be? when someone totally mucks it up we're going to announce there faliure by calling them idiots? I disagree... i really do...

She was being utterly ignorant. I don't feel bad for her in the least- she deserved it. Is it really so bad to call someone an 'idiot' when they are going around falsely accusing authors and books of being satanic? Or 'wiccan' which isn't even an evil religion. She's lucky she doesn't have it worse. And if she's crying about it she needs to grow up. She could have stood up for something without insulting other people. She could have kept her family away from Harry Potter. Everyone else, however, is none of her business.
She voiced her opinion, and we voiced ours.
