ATLANTA, Georgia (Reuters) -- Harry Potter fans in Gwinnett County, Georgia, can breathe a sigh of relief.
The Georgia department of education Thursday upheld a decision by the county board that would allow the wildly popular series by British author J.K. Rowling to remain in school libraries, Gwinnett school system spokesman Jorge Quintana said.
In October 2005, Laura Mallory, a mother with children at Gwinnett elementary schools, asked a local committee to ban the books about a young wizard, saying they were violent and promoted witchcraft.

Its amazing how some people arent just satisfied enough with enforcing their tunnel vision on their own family, but try to enforce it on every one elses's family members as well.
It would be interesting to learn the level of education of Laura Mallory, which I'm afraid would speak volumes about her 'other' beliefs and how she applies them to the real world.
