Teacher Tells 1st Graders There's No Such Thing As Santa

A music teacher in Richardson, Texas told his first grade students that there's no such thing as Santa Claus. I can't believe he'd do that! In my opinion, Santa is something that only parents should deal with. It's just not a teacher's business to decide whether a child should believe in something like that or not!

The elementary school as been getting angry phone calls from parents since Monday, the day this occurred, so now the school district is issuing 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. I can't believe it!
