J.K. Rowling-“The Tales of Needle the Bard”
J.K. Rowling, the famous author behind the Harry Potter novels, has struck gold again with her latest book “The Tales of Beedle the Bard.” http://www.jkrowling.com/en/ .  The true magic of Harry Potter has been introducing children to the joys of reading.  Unfortunately, not all people have embraced J.K Rowling for her commitment to children’s literacy.  Many fundamentalist religious groups have spoken out against the Harry Potter Novels because they believe that they encourage witchcraft and other practices forbidden by their religions. 

 One of the core principals of America is religious freedom.  In fact, freedom of religion was considered so key to American life that our founders enumerated it specifically in the First Amendment.  Later laws like Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 explicitly extend a person’s right to believe by prohibiting adverse employment actions based on religion.  The protection is not limited to one set of religious beliefs.  It extends to Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Wicca, and all other religions.
