Methinks you just outed yourself.
Do you Does she also disabuse Muslim children in your her classes of their 'mythological belief' in their "spurious Allah character"?
If not, why not?
My .02? The only people making Santa out to be a religious figure is her in her warped, attention-seeking brain. My kids were both saved within the last two years and are in church every time the door opens, and attend a Christian private school, and are quite familiar with the Biblical story of the Nativity (we read from Luke every Christmas Eve as a family) and the thought has never, not in a million years, not in this or any known solar system, crossed our minds that by having Santa Claus we are making him a religion or doing something that is not within the tenets of Christianity.
Of course I must practice a different brand of Christianity than Ms. Conservatrix/Farissi. I rather prefer mine, though. It has a little bit of fun and joy and happiness attached to it, and doesn't stand for denying children the enjoyment of childhood things. Oh I almost forgot, we took the kids to see the new Harry Potter movie the other day (they love the books), full of ghosts and goblins and magic and all kinds of EEEEEEVILL fantasy things. Don't guess we can do that and be good Christians, can't have any fantasy corrupting our kids' souls. :)
This situation was mentioned in a thread on DU the other day. Surprisingly, most who responded thought this teacher was way out of line. Of course there had to be one bad apple, somebody who said it was wrong for six-year-olds in the U.S. to experience Santa Claus when six-year-olds are starving in Darfur.
When you get right down to it, the two positions may be at polar extremes as far as political labels, but that poster and Ms. Conservatrix/Farissi are equally reprehensible in my book.
Bottom line, IMHO, this woman has an agenda that transcends Santa Claus that if presented to me, adult to adult, I might even find some common ground with, but I find it reprehensible that she would put six-year-olds in the line of fire, and if she'd pulled this with one of my kids, it would've taken all my willpower to keep my tongue from producing some un-Christian words, and I'd do everything within my power and call in every chip I had with anybody who could help along those lines to make sure that she was never, ever, ever in a position to do something like that to a group of six-year-olds again.
