November 25, 2007. Students everywhere cheer to the demise of one less source of homework while their worried, nail-biting parents let out a long held sigh of relief; able to breath easier knowing their precious children are slightly safer. The Department of Magical Education at the British Ministry of Magic, London announced the other day that the subject Defense Against the Dark Arts has been terminated from the allowed coursed at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. “It is too controversial,” the Head of that department told us. “In our current times, who can define what stands as a Dark Wizard?”This decision, of course, has nothing to do with a previous article, nor did the flood of owls from concerned parents influence the Department’s course of action. But, the Ministry has once again showed the world that they are on top of things. Decades ago, Dark Arts courses were banned from wizarding schools, but its opposite was allowed to prevail. A subject that advocates raising a wand against another human being; a subject taught by a witch whom uses, and performs, the unforgivable courses before her sixth year students.

The Magical Education Department assures parents that this will hinder the delicate process of learning:

"Defense Against the Dark Arts was a class with the sole purpose of teaching students how to defend themselves in times of crisis. All of the spells preformed in the classroom can easily be learnt through Charms or Transfiguration. "

Very plainly stated and with a crystal clear intent. Too long has Hogwarts gone on without a closer look at its educational process. There will not be a repeat of the High Inquisitor position previously held by Dolores Umbridge, but nor will our government stand to let the school run uncontrolled and wild. Especially not when the Deva has become an increasing concern in our community.

Our first priority must always be the safety of our future generations.
