INCORRECT HARRY POTTER

The Harry Potter series is back on library shelves in the Cedarville School District, following a federal judge's order to give students access to the popular books about the boy wizard. The board drew wrath from national free-speech groups for its June decision to require students to obtain parental permission to check out the books. The 3-2 decision, which overruled a decision by the district's library committee, came after a parent complained about the books. The books written by British author J.K. Rowling have been assailed by some Christian groups for their themes of spells, sorcery and magic.
