Banning Harry Potter Books in public schools- Heather Oeltjen-Bruns Banning harry potter books in public schools is a real problem because those kids who's schools have banned harry potter books, because of the books sposely promoting wichcraft and are bad influences for the sudents, cannot enjoy the good writing in the books and the that most people have enjoyed in america. This all stared when parents started complaining about how their kids were inspired, by the books and wanted to do wichcraft. They brought their problems to their child's schools and told the teachers, not to have the boooks in schools that ment not reading it in classes and also it not being able to have it in the school's libary. For example, on speak. com the parents If parents don't want a child to read certain books, they have the authority as guardian of that child to prevent him or her from reading material they find offensive or counter to their religious beliefs. The Harry Potter books, while clever and imaginative, deal with dark subjects including death and sorcery that are inappropriate topics for younger readers. Another example from about.comIn a number of states, there have been attempts, some successful, some unsuccessful, to have the Harry Potter books banned in classrooms, and banned or under severe restrictions, in school libraries. For example, in Gwinnett County, Georgia, a parent challenged the Harry Potter books on the grounds that they promoted witchcraft. When school officials ruled against her, she went to the State Board of Education. When the BOE confirmed the right of local school officials to make such decision, she took her battle against the books to court. Although the judge ruled against her in the spring of 2007, she indicated she might continue her fight against the series. my opinon is that no school should ban Harry potter books because there are a realy good book series, and if parents dont want their kids to being reading those books tell them personaly, not have the whole school suffer because one kid's parents does not think it is not approprite for their kids. and also tell their librarinas not to allow there kid to read it, so the other kids can still enjoy the book series.
