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 assurred 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 says the teacher won't face any disciplinary action. :burningm:
