| | Potter defeats Mallory
As we told you earlier this week, a request to ban Harry from schools was voted on today … the result: Harry Potter books will remain on library shelves in Gwinnett County schools!
Members of the Georgia Board of Education voted today (without discussion!) in favor of the Gwinnett County school board’s decision to deny requests from Laura Mallory to remove Harry Potter books the county’s school libraries.
Gwinnett is undecided as to whether or not she will make another appeal. |

| I think everyone is being kind of mean to that woman. I mean, obviously, I love Harry Potter and I am glad that they are not banned, but it clearly goes against her religion, and you can't blame her for bringing her children up according to her religion. Some religions don't like HP, and us being huge fans need to learn to accept that. |

YAY for the Georgia Board of Education!!!
She might make another appeal. Seriously, she should just give it up. No use trying again--she got black-balled both times. Everyone who has actually read the books knows that there's good in them too. Gosh, it's not all evil. It's fiction. *sigh* But--bless her heart--she just doesn't know it. Maybe one day she'll see...
So... How much you guys wanna bet this lady will make national news?

Wow, okay so she seriously should give up now. I respect her values and her beliefs, but after being ruled against twice already she should stop! Haha. Give Jo a break!

Hogwarts RPG Name: Jeremy Bradford Fifth Year | "It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you are not." That's good To be honest if you don't want your kid to read the book, then don't let him read the book. But just because that particular person may not want their kid to read the book, doesn't mean other kids shouldn't be allowed to read it if they want.
