Post Woman determined on Harry Potter ban strikes again

Laura Mallory, a mother from Georgia is determined to continue her efforts to have the Harry Potter books banned from school shelves, even after losing several rulings on this matter. News organisations reports that Ms Mallory has requested an appeal of her case to Gwinnett Superior Court.

Quote:
Mallory has said the books should be removed from all Gwinnett County public schools.
Quote:
The state board did not consider the merits of the books in making its decision. Instead, board members were asked to determine whether Gwinnett had properly handled Mallory's complaint. Without discussion, objection or comment, the members upheld the school system's procedure — much to Mallory's chagrin.
Please be reminded to be respectful to others' views and opinions when commenting to this bit of news. Dont be rude.

This lady never quits does she? She is persistant, I will give her that much. I hope that this time however, she read the books before deciding to appeal. I don't understand her though, just becuase she doesn't "like" the books and doesn't want her children reading them doesn't mean that every parent feels the same way. Although I don't live in Georgia, I have several friends and family that have younger children, and they LOVE reading the stories together. This woman should think about that when she makes her appeal, and think about the fact that some people might not be able to afford to buy the books, so getting them out of the school library is the only way to read them. Oh well.

Well, that says pretty much all that I would like to point out here. Period.

I really don't know why she does this. People has it's different view, I know. I respect that. But it's just a book. And a lot of people just read because of a book like this. Kids who don't like to read, feel like doing it when they have an hp book in their hands. It doesn't seem right to take them away from schools.

yeah, I think she doesn't understand the books themselves. People are afraid and often hate things they do not understand. Hopefully, the majority will win.

I don't understand her.. You would have thought that after losing several times, she would've read the books. But instead she's just proving to us that she really deserved idiot of the year.

I actually go to a private school where they have banned Harry Potter...but it doesn't matter, I own them all anyway

The school was worried that the books were teaching "witchcraft" or something, and that the younger students were going to try and do the spells...I don't know. But I say that anyone who reads the Harry Potter books and thinks that Hogwarts and "the boy who lived" really exist should be in a mental hospital, not a library.

Why is she trying again? I really dont think she's going to get a different answer.., I dont get why She even bothers.. i mean come on.. if she doesnt want her Kids to read them then that's her business! but its really none of her consern if other people let they're kids read them ..

I really dont understand this woman. How can someone who never read the books judge them. All she knows is its about a wizard and she belives it promotes evil witchcraft. She needs to leave parenting up to the other parents. Let them decide what their children read not her.

Is this lady for real? Books should never be banned. For any reason, even things that people don't agree with can be learned from. She shouldn't be so critical of things she obviously does not understand. Sorry I'm venting.

Everyone have a nice day.

This lady is outrageous! Who does she think she is to ban all kids from the region to read HP? Why doesn't she just read the books and chill?...

wow, this has got to be one of the saddest things, I mean how many appeals has this woman had and how many times have they turned her down. I seriously doubt this woman will ever get that throught that head of hers. She really should be ashamed of herself for banning something that has inspired young people to read
