Alison and Jarrod Ogden HP debate not ’’totally idiotic” To the Editor: I am writing in response to the letter Jeremy Rietmann of lone wrote in the Jan. 17 issue. 1 feel that this Harry Potter "debate" is not "totally idiotic." Two people who I know are very smart people and people who I admire put letters in the paper. These people are Lea Mathieu and Monika Hunter. These women are very intelligent and would not put a letter in if they did not feel it was worth it. I also feel that we should feel luck^ that we are so blessed to have a community that is so close that we can do this. We should also be thankful that our local pap|r is allowing us to do this. li think that there is nothing ■ a rnyig w ith disagreeing. But it 1 $ never okay, nor is it right, to cut someone down for their beliefs, because everyone has a right to his own opinion and to believe in what they choose. I am not accusing anybody of doing this. This is just how I feel. Now not all Christians may feel that these books are inappropriate for Christians to read, just like some Christians don't find any harm in listening to "secular" music. But others might disagree. It is a matter of where your relationship with God is. Now, just because you don't find any harm in these things does not mean that your relationship with God is bad. It is a matter of opinion and conviction, just as the decision on whether to read the Harry Potter books is. I personally have decided not to read them, but that is just my choice But I will never condemn anyone for reading them. (s) Kassy Gaines Heppner Question addressed to school board To the Editor: I have a question that I wish to publicly address to Morrow County School District's superintendent and board. Based upon the district's educational system "Constitution and Bylaws" is it legal for public school teachers to teach students religious philosophy, doctrines or chants pertaining to the supernatural, through any selected medium of the teachers' choice, that may or may not pose the risk of a student converting from one religion to another? Would you please print your answer in next week's editorial section of The Gazette Times, quoting and stating the article or section of the district's constitution and bylaws from which it is found? Please note: to clarify any misunderstanding of my question, and to ward off any delay in the answer I have defined the following words from my letter, using Webster's New World Dictionary and Atlas (1940) as my resource . (1) Teach-to impart knowledge to; instruct; inform; cause to learn or acquire skill in. (2) Religious-set apart for religion. (3) Philosophy- the knowledge of the causes of all phenomena of both mind and matter; a particular philosophic system. (4) Doctrine-that which is taught; the principles, belief or dogma of any church, sect, or •party. (5) Chant-a psalm, phrase, slogan, or the like repeated rhythmically and insistently, as by a crowd. (6) Supernatural- beyond, or exceeding, the powers of laws of nature. (7) M edium-anything intervening; agency; means (a means to teach through such as literature, music, or physical exercise). (8) Converting-convertible; transmutable; interchangeable. (9) Religion-any system of faith (belief) or worship (adoration).
