Maybe it is about standing up for what she believes to be true, in the face of unpopular opinion.

You're kidding, right?

I dare say my faith is as strong, if not stronger than hers, and yet I can make the distinction of the true meaning of Christmas, and that of Santa Claus.

That being said, I continue to teach about Santa to my students. The benovolent jolly old elf brings shares the joy of giving during this Christmas season. To say this teacher stood up for what she believes in, defies common sense, and a respect for the opinions of others.

What right does she have to impose her opinions over that of the children's parents?

You've missed the boat here in respecting the culture of others.

Is she's offended at the thought of Santa, then she should keep it to herself, and not display her actions in a public school.

A public school should not be requiring teachers to promote their religion. "He sees you when you're sleeping; he know's when you're awake; he knows when you've been bad or good."... gee, that sound like the God you say you believe in.
