Morality is... a fickle word, defined freely by whoever uses it and misunderstood by everyone.
Morality is like religion. You make it up as you go along...

That's a rather...nihlistic view. |

Screw Massachussets. With the Red Sox, Boston College, the Celtics, the Patriots and now this, I just want to blow up that entire state.
However, it is a private school, even if they are all loons. That doesn't happen to be near Salem, does it?
Wigs! I'm disappointed in you. Even Tom Brady and America's Team? Maybe you mean when they are at an away game? |

I do not see what the problem is if the kids can read Harry Potter at home.

Because this isn't a high school where kids make up their own damn minds, but rather the influence of younger, less free-minded elementary/middle (K -  school children. What's more sad is that only a dozen parents complained. But yes, they have the right, yadda yadda, and no one's disputing that... but the very idea is rather sickening. I mean... BANNING books? What kind of message does that send? And can someone actually find me a person that became a satanist or a wiccan (which aren't as "evil" as the church, media and Hollywhood would like you to believe) because of Harry Potter? And welcome to IAP 2.0 HumanBeast  ! |

She should be made to root for the Orlando NBA team.   OswaldTheOsprey Just thought you might like to know that in Australian slang the verb 'root' means to have sexual intercourse. I hate basketball, so I don't know how many there are in a team, but I think she might get tired.  |

Then logically schools shouldn't have any books except textbooks. If the kids want to read they can do so at home. And parents wont be able to complain. |

Logically it is the staff and administration role to pick books be they textbooks or books for the library. If a certain book is not in the library, then the parents, if they prefer, can obtain a copy for the kids. My parents used to buy me books. OswaldTheOsprey |

And the school is within it's rights not to stock the book. I just don't like the reasons. |
