First the Religious Right denounced Harry Potter as a corrupting influence on youth; now Washington Post is running an article warning that the Potter phenomenon is producing a nation of dweebs, and no-one to beat the stuffing out of them at recess.

It's funny how the religiots and bullies often see eye to eye; a while ago, religious right groups across the US were vigorously opposing anti-bullying laws, lest they protect gay kids and other deviants from being put in line by righteous, god-fearing jocks. Bullies, it seems, are the natural enforcers of God's Law.
