(WSB Radio) -- A Gwinnett County parent will appear before the Gwinnett County School Board Thursday to plead her case for the removal of the Harry Potter series of books from all school libraries in the state's largest school district.

Laura Mallory tells WSB's Jeff Dantre' the books promote witchcraft and are not age appropriate for elementary children.

"It's just not fair to promote one religion over another. The Wicca religion is a recognized tax exempt religion. The books promote witchcraft and they expose children at a very early age to the symbols and the paraphernalia of witchcraft and the practices of it like casting spells."

Mallory's request has already been denied by a review board at the school her three children attend, J.C. Magill Elementary in Loganville.
