Posted without comment. However, if you wish to give the teacher your regards, it's actually possible to find her address on Google if you enter her name and the state she lives in.

Theresa Farrisi is an evil woman. She deserves coal in her stocking!

[nmh]

That's rotten. She's a typical heartless liberal.

Bet ya, she's mum on what an abortion is.

[Texas_Jarhead]

what a stupid selfish b!tch - selfish is what she is because she derrived power and, if I had to guess, pleaure from telling those kids that Santa wasn't real

[CindyDawg]

Oh no. Not again.

Ho Ho Ho!

I know a few women who would like to take this busybody to a wood shed.

Bell said he was aware that several parents have expressed concerns about the incident.

He also noted that the handling of Santa Claus isn’t covered in the school code.

“[There is no Sanity Clause],” he said. “It’s unfortunate, but I really can’t say anything about it.”


There’s no real person called Santa Claus living at the North Pole.”

True. He's called Joulupukki, and lives in Lapland

In 1925, it was discovered that there are no reindeer at the North Pole. There are, however, lots of reindeer in Lapland, Finland.

In 1927, the great secret of Santa's address was revealed by Markus Rautio ("Uncle Markus") who compered the popular "Children's hour" on Finnish public radio. He declared that Father Xmas lives on Lapland's Korvatunturi Mountain.

What a stone bitch.

[Grut]

Sigh. No Santa. But there's always the government!

This cold hearted woman terrorized a class......she sent little children home sobbing.....I am too much of a lady to say what I really think of her.

[Tonysgirl]

What a meanie she is to say that to them children.

She must have been a bad girl when she was little and SANTA Clause didnt come to see her soooo she has to take out her bitterness on other kids.

What a heartless woman! The Santa Claus story makes Christmas a little extra exciting for the kiddies. It's harmless fun. Parents also get a kick out of pretending Santa came to the house. The woman obviously cannot relate to children and should be in another line of work.

I thought everyone knew there ain't no sanity clause.

[Chewbacca]

There is no Santa Claus.

“The poem has great literary value, but it goes against my conscience to teach something which I know to be false to children, who are impressionable,” said Farrisi, 43, of Myerstown. “It’s a story. I taught it as a story. There’s no real person called Santa Claus living at the North Pole.”

What a drip! No imagination,and what seems like a sour disposition to boot. It wasn't her job to squash the happy Christmas dreams of first graders.

“She yelled at me, ‘Why did you lie?’” recalled Jamey’s mother, Elizabeth. “‘Why didn’t you tell me Santa Claus died?’”

[NapkinUser]

The teacher is 100% right. Down the road, these children will learn who told the truth and who lied.

By the way, if a 7-year-old cries at learning the truth about Santa, he/she is emotionally immature.

I have news for her.
One day there will be schools and homes on other worlds. And during the earth month of December in a majority of them. There will be a tree and sleeping by that tree will be a child dreaming of Santa.
