If you are 7 and still believe in this bull, you need to get your head examined... IMO. Yep, I am a Grinch...

Agreed. I think Christmas is about Jesus Christ, not Santa Claus. That having been said, I think parents are free to teach their children whatever they want, but I disagree with teaching children that there is a Santa Claus. If you don’t want someone telling a kid something contrary to what you want them to be taught, don’t ship them to a government school/indoctrination camp and abdicate an important portion of your parental responsibility.

In any event, I have no problem with a teacher telling children that Santa Claus doesn’t exist. He doesn’t. So why make a big deal out of someone telling the truth, rather than perpetuate an Anti-Christian lie? I dunno, but I’m sure someone will flame about it.

Absolutely. The sooner we can kill the imagination, dreams and innocence in our children, the better off they will be.

And by golly, it’s the unionized state teachers that get paid to tell our kids what to believe and not to believe. Those damn parents have no business in interfering with the proper upbringing of our children.

Bottom line... when the children of today grow up, they will quickly find out how much their lives suck, so the sooner we can destroy their childish minds, the sooner they can join with those that hate the world.

Maybe so, but it’s not your place or hers to make decision for a family. I have a 26 year old Marine when he gets to come home for Christmas he still writes a letter to Santa, leaves cookies & milk and hides the baby Jesus to lay in the manger on Christmas morning. He knows Santa isn’t real (he was a late bloomer and I think he was 8 before we told him and even then he was pissed at us) but he loves his traditions. Damned if Santa doesn’t write him back. I put them in hour family scrapbook along with the pictures for that year.

He’s a very grounded individual and always has been. It hurt no one for him to believe in Santa longer than your kids or anyone else’s did. We simply refused to let him move through childhood at an unnatural pace. Right before he and his best friend enlisted they used to go out running around the property with swords being a live action video game. I supposed that’s wrong too. I simply don’t see the point of allowing children (or adults) to continue a tradition they enjoy.

Obama should have a televised statement just prior to Christmas Eve, have all the parents bring their kids to the TV and inform them all, Santa is not real, tell um it's just a myth created by evil white people.

If, as a parent, you are lucky enough to have your child not admit that they know, it is NOT the responsibility of the teacher to purposely spoil the mystery. Children are being stripped of their innocence at such an early age these days. Don’t go and spoil it. I recall “finding” my presents at approximately that age. Trying to act surprised was impossible and I was so mortified.

Okay, fine, tell the truth about Santa Claus if you must. But make sure you also tell the truth about labor unions too. The myth of the benevolent labor union is a lie propagated by unionized teachers for generations now, and is far more insidious in my view.

Been lurking for years. Decided to jump in when I recently read the thread “How long did you lurk ...…”. A lot of real smart people around here…

Obviously the process of osmosis didn't work in your case...........

November 2008 showed that more than half the American electorate believes in Santa Clause.
