‘Harry Potter’ Prompts Police Boycott

If this is true it is about the stupidest thing I have ever read.


The police department in Penryn, PA has refused to direct traffic at a YMCA triathlon because it says the club promotes witchcraft by reading Harry Potter books to children.

“I don\’t feel right taking our children\’s minds and teaching them (witchcraft),\’\’ Fichthorn said. “As long as we don\’t stand up, it won\’t stop. It\’s unfortunate that this is the way it has to be.\’\’

Yahoo News says it\’s a A volunteer group that directs traffic at fire scenes.
