Despite a mother’s objections ruling that books like Harry Potter substantiate witchcraft, the book was allowed to be kept in Gwinnett County school libraries. Laura Mallory still wants the books to be removed and is planning to appeal to the federal court.
Mallory was not represented by any attorney at the hearing. The decision was given by Ronnie Batchelor; a Superior Judge. Even the management of the schools approve of the court’s decision. As per them, the books tell stories of children with magic powers and induce imagination and creativity in children. Mallory argued that witchcraft is a religion practiced by some people and the books violates the constitutional separation of church and state.
