    I know someone who actually believes that rainbows are Gods promise to never flood the world again. She is in her 30's. I also know someone who thinks boogers are dripping from you brain, also in her 30's. I know someone who thinks that meth turns your sweat into glass and that is why tweekers skin is mutilated. The only thing they have in common is someone lied to them and they believed it. Even into their 30's

    It is because the teacher probably was a fundamentalist Christian.

    They believe they have a RIGHT and DUTY to preach to children.

    And they believe Santa Claus is a DEMON, the DEVIL, and anti-Jesus Christ.

    I bet this teacher felt she was SAVING the children's souls.

    Nah. These kids need to know this stuff. That's why they're in school. Parents cram lies down the kid's throats so the schools must cram truth down the kid's throats. No matter how graphic it is.

    That's exactly what it is. *******s love returning the hurt they felt because they were losers in school and later in life. They have a need to abuse.

    I can't count how many old wives tales I hear in a day, many of them parents telling their children some pearl of wisdom that science long ago disproved.

    Why do you think it is a "liberal"?

    It's the fatal flaw of religion and conservatism.

    The teacher sounds mean spirited and so do all of the people that are apparently supporting her. I can only imagine what your miserable childhoods were like. No wonder the youth in this country has so many issues.

    Liberals have had a death grip on education and this thread is a good example of how malicious liberals are towards children.

    Tell them there's no such thing as Santa Claus and then make them sing Obama songs.

    We are calling a tank just simple panzer (=armor, shield, tank) - sometimes "Kampfpanzer"="battle tank". The name "Panzerkampfwagen" is only a coquetry with the Nazi-ideology. No one - except Nazis - is using a word like PzKpfw.

    But Santa is reality, Spartanian - so why do you like to tell children something what is wrong only because your belief is wong? And a heaven without dogs would be no heaven at all - so you are also not able to say there is no doggie heaven - you are only able to say that you don't belief that there is a doggie heaven. If lying to kids is just wrong why do you not tell them that they are coming from the origin of the cosmos - a single point in the nowhere what started to expand the whole universe? If this can happen everything can happen. So what? I wasted once 2 hours of my worthful childtime when I was seven years because the son of the neighbor had told me that babies are coming from kissing - and so I asked my sister wether this is possible (I saw that she had kissed someone) and then my sisters told me 2 hous long a lot of nonsense about sex and babies - boring - until I found out that I was right and kisses are making no babies and I knew what I liked to know: his "kissing makes babies theory" was wrong.

    I don't understand this need by intellectually arrogant geeks and nerds to scrub our society of all classical tradition, belief, or celebration and replace it with a cold, technocratic and heartless world where life just plain sucks.

    Liberals in this thread are a bunch of unsympathetic, intellectually arrogant ********s. I hope Karma slaps you all in the face one day for your meanspirited and uncaring ways. You do not have a right to shape society to your whims by crushing the dreams of little children!

    You should show respect for people's traditions no matter how distasteful you find them!

    I don't think you met your panther in the jardin des plantes, Paris.

    I believe this too - what doesn't mean that human beings are not able to destoy this planet. God said so - and he's trustworthy. Lots and lots of people are also saying we should reduce the green-gas-pollution of the earth - but inded the most politicians of nearly all nations are only looking for lame excsues not to have themselve to do so - because they are living in fear to become poor if they are investing money in the future of all life on this planet. Specially the USA and China are the wrong models for a living world.

    The truth is really overrated. It's often a very thin cover for being nasty.

    Bah, humbug. I oppose "little white lies" to children. It's important everyone know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth as soon as possible, to be better able to distinguish truth from falsehood in the future. Just look at how inept our adults are at doing that.

    The stupid "teacher" should be fired from the school, it is an idiocy that a such moron may educate children!

    Fired for telling the truth, huh?

    Take away someone's job because they refuse to perpetuate a lie?

    You like seeing people on the unemployment line do you?

    I say lie to 'em as much as possible. Get them thoroughly confused as to what is real. That way they'll be even better prepared for the realities of adult deceptions and fraud that characterize the modern age of BS.

    I never believed in Santa. I can tell you I benefited from it too. I had a more realistic view of the world from the get-go. My parents made it clear stuff like santa was for pretend fun but didn't exist. So while other kids loved Santa and had all these irrational beliefs like monsters, I didn't. And I loved it.

    Freakin' idiot kids afraid of monsters under their bed. ;)


    Honestly, without going deep into it I think it's a better choice. Letting kids live in lala land is not good. Being truthful to them from the start really helps raise a well grounded, logic minded kid. I'll be doing the same if I have kids. We'll pretend but we'll all know what's up.
