The ironic thing is that the man making these statements will be teaching his elementary students various tales from mythology if he is truly following Stiener.
While not a follower of Stiener, I too read various folk tales and myths to my children (currently D'Aulaires' Book of Norse Myths) and even the adapted for kids versions contain plenty of material which is sensational and could be discribed as 'dark' (we will be reading about the death of Balder and Loki's punishment next).
I don't think I've come across any idea that the Game of Thrones is suitable for children but I really think that if I'm willing to read stories about people being killed, magic being used, god's shapeshifting into various animals and siring/bearing children (the latest being Loki 'mothering' Slepnir) to my children that it would be silly to worry about them reading Harry Potter.
