Time again to ask…
Why are parents who object to the teaching of evolution to their children because they think it’s a lie OK with teaching their children about Santa Clause when they know it’s a lie? Where are those absolute morals when you need them?
A SUBSTITUTE teacher who told a rowdy class of seven-year-old that Santa Claus does not exist has been fired.
The 25 children in the class at a primary school near Manchester, England, were talking excitedly about Christmas and Santa Claus when the substitute alleged he was not real.
“‘It’s your parents who leave out presents on Christmas Day,” she blurted out, according to the Daily Mail website.
The children were reduced to tears at the claim and went home and told their parents, who were less than impressed.
According to the Mail, one parent had a simple solution to his son potentially losing the magic of Christmas – blame religion.
“My lad was in tears and so was everyone else in the class – especially as it was so close to Christmas,” the boy’s father was quoted as saying.
“We told him that she did not believe in Father Christmas because of her religion and he’s fine now.” (Source-Couriermail)
They’re not just lying to their children about Santa but they compound their error by lying about the teacher’s motivation. Ah yes, the magic of Christmas.
