<font color=skyblue>While US preachers try to have book burnings, Forbes also goes to the other side to quote people on how ignorant this practice is.

For my own part, the US burnings of these books is only embarrassing me as an American, and I wish I could apologize to Rowling in person for the silliness of it all, but from what I gather, the burned books are "purchases", so at least the proceeds are making her richer.

Quoting an attorney in Georgia that was representing the school district defending them and their decision to keep Potter books in school libraries despite one enraged mother's petitions at court, If Potter books were to go, that means that books like Cinderella and other Disney stories would be ripped from the hands of our children too.
