Greg Stewart has a great post on Georgia's recent court case where a mother attempted to have the Harry Potter books banned from shelves--although she admits she's never read a sentence.

Check out Greg's God does not want you to read this book you naughty monkeys! Avert your naughty monkey eyes from the page!

I kid, but what gets me is that this Puritan attitude toward banning books that contain witchery or occult matters in no way addresses the fact that children have a natural interest in magical things--and banning anything naturally makes it more alluring!

Children can recognize the difference between make-believe and the real world--especially if their parents do, too.
