Have you heard about this mother who wants to ban Harry Potter books from her town and school library?  Acording to her, Harry Potter books are an evil attempt to spread Wicca beliefs.  Huh.  And here I thought it was just good clean fun and a wonderful way for kids to discover reading and develop their imaginations without the aid of video games. 

I get angry when I hear about anyone wanting to ban books.  Why do many right wing conservatives think that the rest of us need them to tell us how to live?  

I’ve read them all and have enjoyed them.  Think of all the conversations you could have with your child if you both read the same book (oh the horror! Not conversation! Not encouraging exploration of different ideas and thought!)
