    I confess to not having read a Harry Potter book...Had to sit through one of the movies though.
    Never read one, but seen the 1st 2 movies..

    In those 2 movies there was more Christian than wiccan, in that there was zero wiccan content, but one of Harry's family was wearing a crucifix i think

    I think they should go back to burning witches. It would never happen because the Newcastle 'Broon' Brewery have a large say in politics.

    Even if it is in shambles it has shit to do with this thread, troller.

    Read the context i first put it in.

    With so much violence, sex, drugs and George Bush (read bad idiotic politics) on TV why are people worried about a book like Harry Potter.

    There are some areas where they can't teach evolution unless creationism is taught. That's put's the Bible in state schools.

    bonkers!!!

    It amazes and amuses me to think that they oblige educationists to teach science and fantasy in the same context!

    In the case above, i think its only fair that wiccans etc also have a fair crack of the whip.

    Maybe we should use the same methods in the same states to teach witchcraft

    Of course there will be a challenge in the supreme court that should stop the practice if it is occurring.

    Edit: unless i missed it and it got through

    Give it 2 more resignations on the court and it will

    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

    I prefer my idea.

    I'm sure they'd withdraw the demand of its being taught at all, if all religions were given the same status.

    Actually I think they would fight against it. The question was asked if the ten commandments were allowed to be displayed in courts would they also allow a Buddha...they said no because it is not American Judaic/Christian tradition... Apparently freedom of religion in public is the for the Christian faith only
