Thanks, it will be interesting to see how they deny this.

You know, aside from the spiritual aspects of this "debate," no one has yet to explain how one company should have a monopoly on selling school material to the entire United States educational system. And furthermore, the company is largely foreign-owned. This is supposed to be a time of patriotism-where are all the patriots out there?

If Harry Potter was just about teaching children to read, then why is Scholastic selling cassette tapes of the books for children to listen to, much less making movies about it?

Because they can make LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of MONEY?

Or is that motive a wee bit TOO obvious?

Just speaking to a friend tonite about her daughter that plays with my 9 yr old, she talked about SCHOLATIC and how they are pushing this so hard onto the kids. I asked her about her daughter, and she said, "Come to think of it, yes! My duaghter did say the teacher was reading the book to the class." The mother was horrified to hear about the series, and want me to print out information. The churches hear are seemingly turning a deaf ear. I gave information to one of the pastors here and it seems nothing has been done.

Thanks for the added information. This is astounding! The source is reliable? I am shaking my head at this, dumb-founded.
