Wiccans React To Book Ban Plan
A Gwinnett County mother’s push to get Harry Potter books banned from elementary school bookshelves has made it to the state board of education.
Laura Mallory is the mother of three who's fighting against those books. Tuesday morning she pleaded her case to a hearing officer who will make a recommendation to the state board.
Among her arguments is a central theme that the books promote witchcraft and evil, but people who know about real life witchcraft, or Wiccanism, say the witches in the Potter books have nothing to do with reality and a lot more to do with getting children to enjoy reading.
At Inner Space and the Hoot Owl Attic bookstore in Sandy Springs you can find anything you want to know about the mystical world.
People like Marcia Gaither. She used to practice Wiccanism, or witchcraft, now she's teaching a class on it. Full Story
