The Harry Potter-bashing fun in Georgia continues.
After my last post, Diana commented on an equally (if not moreso) absurd situation in which a certain school administrator disbanded a Harry Potter club when he was aghast to find students "practicing spells" during club time.
Little do those students know how lucky they are that their aspirations to witchcraft were nipped in the bud:
"At Thursday’s hearing, Mallory spoke against the books along with four other parents and students. One of them was Stacy Thomas, a mother of five, who said reading the 'Harry Potter' series made her daughter turn to witchcraft, ultimately causing their Christian family to lose friends, finances and their reputation.
Her daughter, Jordan Fusch, 15, testified that she began experimenting with tarot cards, curses and seances after reading the books.
'As a former witch, I can tell you that witchcraft is not fantasy. ... I felt I could not escape the clutches of witchcraft,' Fusch said. 'It has taken several years of counseling to get to where I was before witchcraft and reading "Harry Potter" books.'"
Fortunately for Jordan she turned away from the dark arts before being led to an even more aboniable fate that is, as Willow Rosenberg would tell us, the inevitable next step after witchcraft.

It's amazing what a little reading does these days, in'it? It opens one mind to new experiences and ideas. Oh wait, that's a sin in Georgia. I can see why they might be upset.
If you think about it, it could be worse, she can be into drugs, smoking, alcohol, gangs or hanging out in front of wal-mart talking to her friends about those things.
