The moms and dads are circulatin­g a petition saying they’re “disturbed” by a social media post made by Sharon Burns, of Eden HS in St. Catharines, Ontario, that shows her flashing a rock-on hand symbol in an Iron Maiden T-shirt.

They called images in the photo “Satanic,” but students launched a counterpet­ition defending her as “kind” and “enthusiast­ic.”

They’re not sole mates. An Ohioan sued his wife for leaving her shoes in an inconsider­ate spot on the floor, allegedly causing him to trip and hurt himself.
