Subject: RE: On Top of Old Smokey - parody problem
Here's a TV clip about it with the girl, her mother a school spokesperson. All seems pretty daft.

When I googled this story I found another one, which seem relevant to me in giving some indication about how this particular community ticks It's a story from SUWANEE about another local school board issue that is current - Georgia school board to make decision on Harry Potter books - "The Gwinnett County Board of Education is expected to make a decision this week on whether Harry Potter books should remain on public school shelves."

This follows a complaint from a parent (at a different school) that "she objects to what she calls the books 'evil themes, witchcraft, demonic activity, murder, evil blood sacrifice, spells and teaching children all of this.' "
