Harry Potter Censorship Row
The Issue
The latest "Harry Potter" book to hit schools across Zudo-land has stirred up the greatest controversy yet.
The Debate
"I quite enjoyed the book, until I got to the part where Harry summons evil demons to do his bidding," says religious leader Abraham Rifkin. "Now that's just wrong. We need to restore some sense to this debate, by which I mean we should remove this book from the shelves, salt it thoroughly, and burn it."
[Accept]
Teachers union President Beth Washington says, "Come on, the book is fantasy! And it's a damn good read. I'd like the government to issue a statement of support for our teachers and librarians, so kids can enjoy good books without interference from religious wackos, like Christians."
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
I like evil demons ;)
