Okay, the teacher is a Christian, conservative republican. I like the way she delineated the history of Santa Claus, how he's depicted in other countries. That's fine. But she crossed a line because these were small kids, 6 and 7, albeit that they probably found out the truth on the school bus. If one child raised his hand and demanded to know if there really was a Santa Claus, she could have finessed the question, and frankly, there's a little Santa Claus in all of us and not just at Christmas. That spirit of caring and giving and generosity toward others. Katrina and the tsunami come to mind.)

That, my friend, is the spirit THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, not Santa Claus. "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." YOu cannot bleive in other gods if you love Jesus Christ .
She could have just said "People believe different things, and you should ask your family what they believe."
