Well, as the Superintendent said "we have no santa clause policy" so maybe the blame lies a little with the school district, too.

Whats ironic here is that parents are demanding she be punished and insisting to their kids that Santa IS real even after they have had their hearts broken here. So in a few years when the kids figure out that Santa is, in fact, not real they will also realize that their parents got a woman fired or disciplined for not perpetuating a myth and then lied to them by essentially claiming the teacher was lying, making them believe in Santa all over again until they find out that is was all make believe to begin with, something they will probably find out from bigger kids in the school while getting wedgies on the playground. Yay for litigous parents!!!!!

Kids are smarter than you think, and it doesnt take long for them to realize that they still get presents from Santa even if they are bad. Then the little materialistic turd thats inside us all kicks in, and by age 8 they are taking the presents back to Wal Mart to exchange for something else. By age 12 they are trying deftly to find out what the parents got them and resort to sneakery and shennanigans, and by age 15 the parents just say "F** it what do you want for christmas this year?"

What a beautiful holiday
