No, SFD, the point is a that a busy-body substitute teacher, who had no parental authority to do so, upset many children and ruined a Christmas tradition for their families because she couldn't keep her big fat mouth shut.

But I don't expect you to understand that concept since you want to interject your unwanted opinion about what we should and shouldn't teach OUR children to believe.

What about the parental authority of those who would agree with her or the authority of the voters to elect a school board?

Or the authority of facts and history in education?

What about the authority of the First Amendment? Or, prayer in school, or teaching the Bible as the masterful work of literature it is?

What if the teacher read Biblical passages instead of a poem?

The kids are too young to read the poem themselves, so why not read the Bible? But I don't expect you to understand that concept since you want to interject your unwanted opinion about what we should and shouldn't teach OUR children to believe.

You can teach your children to believe the moon is made of green cheese if you want, I will tell mine it is a lie and teach them to say so openly, despite your conceited notion that tradition is none of their business...

But, since I vote for the school board, pay the taxes to support it, I do have a say and I have the First Amendment.
