I don’t have much to say other than to call attention to a post today by San Francisco’s Stephen Smoliar at his blog site: The Rehearsal Studio.

Smoliar is concerned with the manner in which Scholastic Magazine is merchandising Harry Potter as part of it’s push into support of our education system.  This is something that we need to keep watching very carefully as the budget crisis in Sacramento forces schools to look for every more insidious creative means to secure additional funding.
