Teacher Laid Off For Telling the Truth About Santa
Pfhorrest writes "The Times Online reports, "A supply teacher has been told not to return to one primary school after she told a class of seven-year-olds that Santa Claus did not exist. Children at Blackshaw Lane Primary School in Oldham were talking about Christmas when the teacher came out with the news. Father Christmas was not responsible for delivering their presents on Christmas Eve, the pupils were taught. The teacher, who had been drafted in for just the day, has now been told not to come back. Parents complained to the school after their children returned home to recount what they had learned in lessons that day." With all the contention about teaching religion (or the lack thereof) in schools these days, what do you all think about similar issues regarding more frivolous popular folklore like Santa Claus?" And what about Cthulhu? Should a 7-year-old be forewarned that he will eventually exist in a world of sublime madness at the whim of the ancient ones?
I think we (the non-homosexual majority) are actually more sick of you "innocence stealers" than you are of us "child nurturers." Who the fuck do you think you are that you think it's your business to shatter the innocent dreams of a child?
I believe it is people like you, far left winger (probably homosexual) liberals that are to blame for so many of the problems the world has today. A child has no business worrying if Santa is a real person or a mythical character. Children are supposed to remain children for as long as possible, and fucking assholes like you should die in a fire for being hell bent on cutting that time short.
I'll probably be modded down as a troll, but at the end of the day it was worth it to call out a rat bastard like you in public.
