She doesn’t just deserve a lump of coal in her stocking, she should get a whole trainload!
A bah-humbug New Jersey substitute teacher shattered the hearts of a class of first-graders by telling them Santa Claus and his eight reindeer weren’t real — and then it got a lot worse.
“She proceeded to just completely unleash on them,’’ said stunned parent Lisa Simek, whose daughter Emilia was in the class at Cedar Hill School in Montville, on Facebook.
“She told them Santa isn’t real and parents just buy presents and put them under their tree.
“She told them reindeer can’t fly and elves are not real — [and] elf on the shelf is just a pretend doll that your parents move around. She did not even stop there: the tooth fairy is not real because mom or dad just sneak into your room in the middle of the night and put money under your pillow, same goes for the Easter bunny.
“She told them magic does not exist. There is no such thing as magic anything,’’ Simek wrote. “A grown woman tried to crush our 6-year-old’s spirit, along with the spirits of the other 22 kids.”
One parent said the substitute teacher’s rant even targeted leprechauns.
Some of the children refused to believe the Scroogey sub, known as “Ms. M,’’ when she announced the Christmas spirit-stomping news Thursday.
“The children began yelling that everything is real,” one parent, Mayra Aboyoun, wrote on Facebook. “My daughter is completely heartbroken!”
Another woman told The Post that her 6-year-old granddaughter was beside herself.
“My granddaughter came home yesterday and told me, ‘Mimi, Santa Claus isn’t real.’ And I flipped out,” the woman recalled.

Lucky you———my grandkids are all young adults-——I didn’t even know you could track Santa.:-)

Santa, the Tooth Fairy, and the Easter Bunny really do exist - in the same way that any anonymous gift-giver exists.
That's what I told each of my children as, one by one, they realized what was going on.
What this substitute teacher did was akin to squealing on the person who sent someone flowers or donated money anonymously. It wasn't her business. Hope she didn't ruin everyone's fun.
Are sub’s listed in the staff pages?
This, in once conservative Republican Morris County, now invaded by hoardes of DemocRats pouring from the sewers and alleys of NY City
This is something for parents to decide, not some m-f lackey of the Teacher’s Union!!!
I hope someone tells her there is no tenure.
Kids get a real kick out of it...
LET’S SEE WHERE SANTA IS NOW!!
I remember when I found out in the first grade that there was no Santa, I could not wait to go home and impress my little sister with how grown up and sophisticated I was. She did not believe me.
I’ll probably track him myself——and thanks for the link.

What are ya, some kind of fun killing jackass?
Unbiblical. God clearly teaches his truth needs to be taught at the very beginning.
What are ya, some kind of fun killing jackass?
Well Said. lol
Indeed.
We’ve told our kids much of what she told the class. We decided that we want our children to know that what we tell them is true. When we tell them about Jesus, we do it because he is real. We still have money left by the “tooth fairy”, presents in stockings, etc. but the kids know it’s just a game.
That said, I would never, ever tell anyone else’s child that what their parents told them wasn’t true.
That’s Exactly what we did and for the same reason. I asked one of the older kids if he felt bad about never believing in Santa and he said he was glad that he could always trust us. Despite having fairly different upbringings, neither my husband nor I ever believed in Santa so not encouraging that fantasy with our kids made sense to us.
Teaching about God and really understanding the truths are different in my experience.
Nope. Santa is as real as the feeling and spirit of Christmas.
Ppppffftttt to you!
If the kids asked, I would have told them that Santa Claus is as real as climate change and left it at that.
Liberals hate competition. They trash God and of course Santa. Can’t have someone else giving away s&^% for free, that’s their job.
I like kids...other people’s.
No, you go deal with it, Grinch.
