From the article: "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."

My word, these people will stop at nothing in their ruthlessness! It's diabolical, especially since the volunteers are located in that strategic of commerce and media - Penryn, Pennsylvania.

I was glad to see Tom bring up Heinrich Heine in his posts below. That quote about book- and people-burning has long been one of my favorites, and I've seen it rendered variously in English:

Where they burn books, they will soon burn people

Fatefully enough, Heine's books were among the first to be burned by the Nazis; within 10 years, millions would be burning the in 3rd Reich's ovens.
