ATLANTA - A suburban county that sparked a public outcry when its libraries temporarily eliminated funding for Spanish-language fiction is now being asked to ban Harry Potter books from its schools.

Laura Mallory, a mother of four, told a hearing officer for the Gwinnett County Board of Education on Tuesday that the popular fiction series is an "evil" attempt to indoctrinate children in the Wicca religion.

Board of Education attorney Victoria Sweeny said that if schools were to remove all books containing reference to witches, they would have to ban "Macbeth" and "Cinderella."

"There's a mountain of evidence for keeping Harry Potter," she said, adding that the books don't support any particular religion but present instead universal themes of friendship and overcoming adversity.

Some parents seriously need to get a life and quit livin in the middle ages.

WOW lets open a can of censorship whoopass. The library is full of books that can be ban. First book that comes to my mind is the Bible, clearly this document is fill of questionable information, especially if you are of another faith.

When Harry Potter first came out, there was a lot of talk about that. We had our children read the book to us so we could make up our own mind. For those of you who don't know, those books are long, like 800 pages. My wife stuck with it to the end, but I ditched after about 100 pages.

You keep a third grader reading through 800 pages, and you've accomplished something.

People should actually take a look at them, and then decide.

The movies were cool, too.

Not sure who "they" is.
