Teacher Tells First-Graders There's No Santa Claus
Teacher Won't Be Punished
RICHARDSON, Texas -- Guess what, kids? There's no such thing as Santa Claus!
That's what a suburban Dallas music teacher told first-graders on Monday and the school's been hearing from parents ever since.
The angry phone calls prompted the Richardson School District to issue a pro-Santa statement.
The district announced that the offending teacher had heard from Santa Claus himself -- who assured the teacher that "the spirit of the holidays is alive and well." And Santa asked the teacher to pass that message along to students.
A district spokesman said the teacher won't face any disciplinary action.
