No Censors
I can see where people would get mad, its a book on witch craft, and it goes outside the norm of what people want in their everyday life. Yet, you must think, what about the people who like their imagination, why do they have to be quiet. Censorship is illegal, and our constitution says we have the freedom of speech. Harry Potter is a form of speech that should not be interpreted as a mind washing tactic. The article even says it feels HP was written in fun and not for devilish purposes. people just want to find an outlet to blame on why their kids think differently. I would definitely use it in my classroom, sure some parents would be mad, but it explores a new type of writing, it shows a new form of lifestyle that many kids only get to dream about.

I completely agree. I think censorship is necessary in some cases, but as long as the children are age appropriate how in the world can Harry Potter be looked on with such disregard!
