Nut case

I read an article today about a court case in Georgia. Some right-wing nut job sued the school board to ban the Harry Potter series of books. She believed they were promoting a lifestyle of witchcraft to young children. The case has worked its way up to the Georgia State Supreme Court because she won't accept all the verdicts that say she's a nut case.

They are fully expecting her to appeal again. The article on ABCnews.com ended with the following two lines:

At Tuesday's hearing, 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.

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

The reporter obviously caught the hypocrisy. The scary part is that the religious nut cases don't. They don't really want separation of church and state, they want separation of churches they don't like, and state.
