Gwinnett Co.
No offense to my friends James and Megan Kirkpatrick, but what is up with Gwinnett Co. Georgia? Fo those of you who aren't up to par on this wonderful place, they recently removed a budget for Spanish-English books from the library. Why you ask? Well some residents didn't want to pay for books that illegal aliens might be reading. Heaven forbid they be able to read English.
It shouldn't be surprising that racial statements still survive in the south. The decision was quickly reversed. The new war is against Harry Potter. There must be a fanatical religious group down there. Harry has overstepped his bounds by being a witch. This apparently goes against God's will. The whole water to wine and bread thing should be overlooked I guess. What took these people so long to realize there were witches in the books? Where have they been? Can we send them back?
One person at the hearing pointed out that you would also have to get rid of "Macbeth" and "Cinderella". Well perhaps not "Cinderella", that was only a fairy godmother. These misfits of the supernatural are probably not in the same class as witches.
I was accidentally led to a church. Therein was a session where they also condoned the Harry Potter books. While waiting for lunch, the person I went with said "wasn't that a great sermon"? I replied "yeah, the Nazis condoned book burning too"? We didn't talk much after that.
