Teacher Tells First Graders There Is No Santa Claus

RICHARDSON, Texas -- Guess what, kids? There's no such thing as Santa Claus!

That's what a suburban Dallas music teacher told first-graders on Monday and the school's been hearing from parents ever since.

The angry phone calls prompted the Richardson School District to issue a pro-Santa statement.

The district announced that the offending teacher had heard from Santa Claus himself -- who assured the teacher that "the spirit of the holidays is alive and well." And Santa asked the teacher to pass that message along to students.

A district spokesman said the teacher won't face any disciplinary action.

10. That happened at my daughter's elementary school as well

I called the principal to complain and he was sarcastic and rude to me. The particular teacher, it turns out, is a fundie and also gave extra homework on Halloween because he did not want kids out trick-or-treating.
