Taryn Gill, Assignment 4

I believe that with the consent on the parents you can read Harry Potter. Religion in school is a very touchy subject and it hits close with a lot of families. If I did not believe in witches or devilish being then I would not want my child to be exposed to this. As soon as one book passes the line of religion in school then there would be no stopping it. I am firm believer in not having religion in public school and if a parent would want religion to be taught they should send their child to a religious school. I love the book Harry Potter and it is a great fantasy book but should really only be read on the child's own time. I would not use the book in my class, there are several other good fantasy books that would be accepted by all and not as a big as a problem as Harry Potter would be. I would find another book that is wrote like Harry Potter and has similar fantasy plot.

    I have to agree with you where you said that a parents consent should be involved.

    I think a parent's consent is an alright idea up to a certain grade level, but what would you do with the student's whose parents said no? Don't you think they would feel left out?

    I agree that parents consent should be given in order to read Harry Potter, but if you have read Harry Potter would you still say that these children are devil worshipers or anti-christ symbols? The line that is made with religion I think is made by those who are only viewing it one sided.
