The Debate Over Banning Harry Potter: Protecting Reading Rights

This piece explores the controversy surrounding the banning of the Harry Potter series, highlighting the clash between Christian beliefs and a fascination with witchcraft. While some argue that the magical themes undermine biblical teachings, others emphasize that Harry Potter has successfully engaged millions of children in reading during a time when digital distractions prevail. The importance of reading as a fundamental educational right is discussed, as well as the role of the American Civil Liberties Union in defending against censorship in schools.
