A volunteer group is refusing to direct traffic at a YMCA triathlon because it claims the club promotes witchcraft by reading Harry Potter books to children.

Police Captain Robert Fichthorn said the eight-member force voted unanimously to boycott the 20th running of the triathlon, scheduled for September 7.

The Lancaster Family YMCA began reading chapters of the Harry Potter books to children enrolled in an after-school programme in November.

"I don't feel right taking our children's minds and teaching them (witchcraft)," Fichthorn said. "As long as we don't stand up, it won't stop. It's unfortunate that this is the way it has to be."
