Harry Potter and the Cedarville Censors
Author: Brian Meadors
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476674973
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
In 2002, the Cedarville School Board in Crawford County, Arkansas, ordered the removal of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter books from library shelves, holding that "witchcraft or sorcery [should not] be available for study." The Board picked some formidable adversaries. School librarian Estella Roberts, standing on policy, had the books reviewed--and unanimously approved--by a committee of teachers and administrators that included a child and a parent. Not satisfied with the Board's half-measure permitting access to the books with parental approval, 4th-grader Dakota Counts and her father Bill Counts sued the school district in Federal court, drawing on the precedent Pico v. Island Trees to reaffirm that Constitutional rights apply to school libraries. Written by the lawyer who prosecuted the case, this book details the origins of the book ban and the civil procedures and legal arguments that restored the First Amendment in Cedarville.

Category : Witchcraft
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
This is an accessible and practical guide to one of the fastest-growing spiritual paths in the West today.
