Its a wonder that the lefties haven't attempted to ban the Harry
Potter books, chock full as they are with mysticism and
supernaturalism. Not to mention the rampant Christian symbolism, the
definitive expectation of the difference between Good and Evil, and
that you ought to not merely find Evil distasteful, but something
worth combating, actively combating, not just passing resolutions
against.

You're a little slow on the draw there, pyotr. Christian conservatives have
sued or petitioned school boards all over the country to ban them from
schools.

"Laura Mallory, a mother of four from the Atlanta suburb of Loganville, told
a Georgia Board of Education officer that the books by British author J.K.
Rowling, sought to indoctrinate children as Wiccans, or practitioners of
religious witchcraft..."

=============================

"And here is dear Ashley, a 9 year old, the typical average age reader of
Harry Potter: "I used to believe in what they taught us at Sunday School,"
said Ashley, conjuring up an ancient spell to summon Cerebus, the
three-headed hound of hell. "But the Harry Potter books showed me that magic
is real, something I can learn and use right now, and that the Bible is
nothing but Boring lies." age 9....what is this world coming to?

"Conservatives Urge Ban on 'Harry Potter' Over Witchcraft, Homosexuality"

By Elena Garcia
Christian Post Reporter

"Roberta Combs, president of the 2.5 million strong Christian Coalition of
America, said she was disappointed that Rowling chose to label Albus
Dumbledore, the headmaster of fictional Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and
Wizardry, as gay.

"It's not a good example for our children, who really like the books and the
movies. I think it encourages homosexuality," said Combs, who has called for
a ban on the seven-book series."

==============================

"In Cedarville, Arkansas, the school board restricted access to the Harry
Potter books unless a student could produce a signed permission slip from
their parents. The board passed the rule because fundamentalist parents
complained after "hearing a series of anti-Potter sermons in 2001 by Mark
Hodges, pastor of the Uniontown Assembly of God Church and a member of the
Cedarville School Board."

==============================

It appears from the evidence that you the conservative/liberal views of it
backwards.


On the gripping hand, if this is the list I believe it is, it is
the one put out by the Librarians as "banned books" when there was
some objection to having them available for all children.
Unfortunately, too many Librarians seem to be Liberal Art Majors, and
consider "discrimination" to be bad, right next to "critical thought"
and "age appropriate subjects." Fnord.

Unfortunately, you seem to be a little nuts.
