Christian teacher 'bans reading of Harry Potter witchcraft in class'
A teaching assistant refused to listen to a child read a Harry Potter book because she believed its magic theme was against her Christian faith, a tribunal heard.
Sariya Allan, 47, was disciplined by her employers after she told a seven-year-old girl pupil "I don't do witchcraft in any form" and said she would be "cursed" by hearing the J K Rowling novel.
Miss Allan, who quit her job on grounds of religious discrimination, is now claiming around £50,000 damages from her former school.
