CNN.com reports:

A federal judge ordered Harry Potter books back onto an Arkansas school district’s library shelves Tuesday, rejecting a school board’s claim that tales of wizards and spells could harm school children.

…The Harry Potter books have been assailed by some Christian groups for their themes of witchcraft. The American Library Association says the books were the most frequently challenged of 2002, but rarely did those challenges lead to restrictions or bans.

Plaintiffs Billy and Mary Nell Counts said they feared their daughter Dakota would be stigmatized if she were identified as someone who read books the district considered “evil.”

Oddly, Billy and Mary Nell had no such fear that their daughter would be stigmatized by having the name “Dakota Counts,” which sounds like either a desperate motto for one of those Dakota states or a Stuart Smalley affirmation.
