The Classroom Scrooge: NJ Teacher’s Callous Rant
This substitute teacher made it her business to callously and deliberately disturb the happiness of these children (“Ho, ho, no,” Dec. 1).
This person showed no mercy to these little ones when she tore into Santa Claus. She then decided to hurt them even more by throwing in the Easter Bunny, Elf on the Shelf and, for good measure, the Tooth Fairy.
If a teacher can be this disrespectful to parents who raise their children with these sweet cultural traditions, what is next on her list of destruction? What about parents’ religious and moral beliefs? Catherine Adago Manhattan
This self-serving, immature teacher should have never been entrusted with young, impressionable minds in the first place. Will Graves Winter Park, Fla.
The New Jersey substitute teacher who told her students that Santa’s a fake should be required to come in dressed as Santa Claus to hear the Christmas wishes of her first-grade students.
The same goes for Easter: She should be mandated to come in dressed as the Easter Bunny. Dick Vale Schenectady
I am appalled that any school would allow this imbecile to teach young children. If I were the principal, I would issue a statewide memo to all schools, making sure she never got another teaching job.
I’d then have Santa, elves, leprechauns, the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny show up at the
school and surprise the children. S. Scotti Delray Beach, Fla.
The sad, heartless excuse for a teacher who went on a rant destroying the joy of Christmas does not belong anywhere near impressionable children.
This will be a Christmas season those children will never forget. P. Cawley Southampton
If there’s no Santa, what would you call Sen. Bernie Sanders or Rep-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who want to implement free health care and free college education, all from our benevolent government? Bob Galardi Delray Beach, Fla.
An “educator” who must have been schooled in far-left gobbledygook in New Jersey denied the existence of Santa.
It is a Socialist tradition to deny Christian costumes. Richard Sherman Margate, Fla.
