#1 most challenged book: Harry Potter. Why? Because it "promotes witchcraft," according to Super-Christians. It's such a joke.

I think children should learn about all things and be able to decide what is truth to them.

Stoney to LarrySt... 2012/01/19 07:37:52

Where, pray tell, is Harry Potter 'banned'? What library are you referring to? I live in a small Louisiana town that is very Southern Baptist, & our local library has ALL the Harry Potter books, dvds, etc . are stocked!

Well, more like it just makes them more enticing to those that might have never thought to read them. I know that I would never have taken up any Kurt Vonnegut book where they not on banned book lists.
