Pastor Greg Locke to Fight ‘Demonic Influences’ by Burning ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Twilight’

About burning Seidel’s book, Locke said, “They’re doing everything they can to scrub God from the history books. It was almost as if I was saying, ‘Because you guys have decided to burn the truth of history with your revisionism, I’ll burn this book and show you what nonsense it is.’”

This week’s planned burning service at Global Vision Bible Church comes as school districts throughout America are banning books they say are inappropriate for young readers. Some people have tied the movement to efforts to rid schools of critical race theory. Critics of such bans are crying censorship, noting that many of the banned titles are by authors of color and LGBTQ writers.
