OK, the subject line is just bait… Get over it…
In a lawsuit in GA, it was determined that Harry Potter can stay in the school libraries. But that’s not the point. The point is this lady, Laura Malory, who argued the case. Her argument is based on the separation of church and state:

Mallory argued in part that witchcraft is a religion practiced by some people and, therefore, the books should be banned because reading them in school violates the constitutional separation of church and state.

But apparently the separation of church and state does not apply to her church:

"I have a dream that God will be welcomed back in our schools again," Mallory said. "I think we need him."

What’s up with that? Why does her god get to be in schools and some other god does not?
(Of course, Harry Potter is a not god nor are the books anything but fantasy (and therefore do NOT violate the separation of chuch and state), but that’s not the point. The point is the double standard that Malory has towards her particular god.)
