Judge in Georgia Upholds Decision to Keep Harry Potter Books on School Shelves
Books
A Superior Court Judge today upheld an earlier decision by school officials to keep the Harry Potter series on the shelves of Gwinnett County school libraries, despite the repeated attempts of a Georgia woman who seeks to have the novels banned. Laura Mallory appeared in court today in an appeal to have the books removed, stating before the hearing that she would go "as far as necessary to get the truth out." Personally, I don't think it's a good idea to raise a whole generation of witches," Mallory said. "I don't think it's good for our country."
After the hearing, reports state that Mrs Mallory "may now file a federal lawsuit."
Update: You can now see video of Laura Mallory during this hearing here, afterwards stating that she has not read the books in their entirety, but rather she "gets so disturbed" that she finds it "excruciatingly painful" to read them.
Muahahahahaha!
That is simply sad. Poor Mrs Mallory, she should have read more books in her poor life...
Has this woman ever read any of the books?
OBVIOUSLY NOT or else she would realise that Jo is not trying to "raise a whole generation of witches."
She is merely trying to get an ADD generation to find joy in reading...
There`s only one witch there!
Why won't she just GIVE UP? doesn't she realize its not working and that they are just getting tired of hearing her complain?
Reading about witches, does not make a person a witch themselves, anymore than reading about a baseball team makes you a pro ball player, or reading 'Harriet the Spy' makes anyone a real spy.
What's she talking about? A generation of witches would be great for our country. Just think of the comparitive advantages we'd get in the world economy. And if people could apparate and use floo powder and portkeys we could become less dependent on oil. I say schools should focus very heavily on teaching witchcraft.
(for those who can't tell, this comment is satirical)
May God bless her soul in person as soon as possible. That person is obviously demented as well as ignorant.
May she die in peace at the earliest moment, for her own sake.
They must ban Mallory instead of harmless Harry Potter books! Can somebody protect us from this lunatic?!
She is ridiculous! All shes doing is making a fool of herself in front of the whole country. And what is she playing at??? Raising a generation of witches??? She needs to seriously get a life and worry about things that much more important.
This woman need a good kick in her a** !!!
And I think everyone here would volunteer to do it !
Boy, haven't we already heard this?
When is she going to give up! Every single time she has tried, she's failed! No one is going to budge Laura Mallory, so stop trying. HP has done so much good for our lives and I don't really think that masses and masses of children are going out and converting to Wicca.
well done judge!!
That woman needs a life. I've never heard of cases where people actually began to practice witchcraft because of the books. She's nuts.... Lauar do us all a favour and go away.
PS: If I were a judge/attorney, I wouldn't even copnsider her case unless she had indeed read the books - thoroughly.
I pityu this woman's kids.
