Some Christian parents have tried to put a
stop to this. On August 22, 2002, Insight on the News, reported that Christian parents in Texas
were trying to prevent the public schools from purchasing books which promote witchcraft. One
of those books was the Harry Potter series.

Similar incidences have occurred all over the
country. Complaining that the Harry Potter books promote witchcraft, parents have attempted to
have them removed from public schools and libraries or at least have the books placed on
restricted access” that requires parent permission.

They have had limited success.
On April 23, 2003, U.S. District Judge Jimm Larry Hendren out of Little Rock, Arkansas
overruled a decision by the Cedarville District School Board to restrict Harry Potter books. The
school board decided in June of 2002 that any student wishing to take the controversial books out
of school libraries would have to have parental permission. The judge ordered the books into
unrestricted circulation in the school libraries.

Stephen Dollins recalls a mother who reported to him that her son's
teacher was having the class play the game. Her son came home and asked “What does summons

Lincoln Park High School in Suburban Detroit banned the wearing of accessories and
make-up that promoted white supremacy and satanism. A seventeen year old girl attending the
school sued with aid from the ACLU. The suit was filed because the young girl wanted to wear a
pentacle promoting her Wiccan (witchcraft) beliefs. The school board lifted the ban fearing an
expensive legal battle.

In Colorado Springs “eight sixth-grade girls were pulled from class when the vice
principal discovered they were practicing witchcraft during school hours, and actually casting
spells in the classroom. The students were caught reading a book called Salem's Trials—checked
out of the school library!” Apparently, from the girls statements, they had been influenced by a
recent “pro-witchcraft” movie The Craft, which was about teenage witches. The parents
threatened to sue because the school had interfered with the girls rights.

Doc Marquis, a former, Satanist, says he used to take his Satanic Bible to both middle
schools and high schools to recruit children into Satanism. He says the law protected his right to
do so. Unfortunately, now as an evangelical Christian, he is prevented by law from taking his
Bible to schools.

While it seems unbelievable that Doc was actually allowed to promote Satanism on
school grounds, Sean Sellers has an even more incredible story. At his school a senior girl named
Melissa was permitted to make a speech to the entire student body. Melissa was a witch and her
speech promoted witchcraft. “She said she had witnessed a human sacrifice and had a piece of
human skin to prove it.” Sean was at a vulnerable time in his life. He contacted Melissa and she
introduced him to The Satanic Bible and gave him a “crash course in witchcraft and satanism.”
Sean plunged into witchcraft and Satanism and as a result he killed a store clerk and his parents.
