'No Santa' teacher sacked

Ananova:
A teacher has been sacked for telling children there is no Santa.

Parents were furious when their kids returned home telling them they had also been taught elves and fairies did not exist either.

The supply teacher, in her 30s, had her contract terminated after complaints to the head.

According to the Sun, mum Amanda Piovesana, 30, said: "It's taken away the magic."

Another mother of a pupil at Boldmere Junior School in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, said: "Everyone is disgusted."

Head Diane Thomas-Wood confirmed: "We have followed up the matter with the agency."

I think she has a really good case for unfair dismissal - tell the children the truth (one of the cardinal virtues) and then get dismissed because a couple of parents don't like it. And do they really believe that the kids don't know anyway?
But I draw the line at elves and fairies - I mean to say .....
