A review committee is pushing the school board to keep the Harry Potter children\’s books in local libraries and in the classrooms of the district\’s 20 schools.
The committee, appointed by Interim Superintendent Gary Bruner, on Monday unanimously recommended that the Bend-La Pine School Board let the books be available for unrestricted use.
Bruner appointed the review committee after a Bend couple, Greg and Arlena Wilson, complained that the books would lead children to \”hatred and rebellion.\”
Greg Wilson said Monday he wasn\’t surprised by the committee\’s decision.
\”I just hope this whole thing will really open the parents\’ eyes and get them more involved with what the schools are teaching,\” he said. \”I still believe that what I was doing is right.\”
