What always frightens me the most about groups like this is that they 
seem to somehow think that people really believe that the Harry 
Potter books are real and that we're all going to run out and start 
waving around holly branches which will really work and cast spells 
on people.  These people give their children absolutly no credit for 
being able to recognize what is real and what is fantasy.  They take 
things and make wild generalizations, such as that since many schools 
have the Harry Potter books in their libraries then "This means that 
your child will be assigned Harry Potter as Required Reading 
Material.  If your child is attending Public School, he or she will 
be getting the full impact of this Satanic storyline."  Under US law 
parents have the right to censor what their children read, but one 
would hope that parents would take the time to look at all sides of 
the argument and read the book for themselves before they do so.  
Also how on earth can one claim that Michael Jackson being 
investigated on charges of pedophilia fortells coming tolerance for 
pedophilia?
