School Board board okays Harry Potter

Someone passed along This One from up in Mayfield, MI.


More than 200 people showed up to the school board meeting night with the intention of keeping Harry Potter Books out of the schools.

The board then voted 5-0 in favor of using the four released Harry Potter books as supplemental reading for eighth-grade Fundamental English students. Worried this would endanger future millage requests, a teacher said:

\”BELIEVE ME, our schools are in bad shape,\” he said. \”The community must pull together for this.


\”Part of the voting community is alienated by insisting upon the use of the Harry Potter books,\” he continued. \”What do we have, really, to lose if we give up the use of the Harry Potter books?\”
