IBTPWSWITMYKBHABAKNY! (In before the people who say "what if they make your kid bring home a burka and koran next year"?) |
|
State of residence? CMOS |
|
|
you get my last post of the day. it is a simple <3 |
|
|
Is it public school? If so, color me surprised. Our system around here is PC beyond belief. Luckily, my kids go to Catholic schools, where they can still use bad words like, "Jesus", "God", "Faith", "Prayer", etc. |
|
I am surprised (and heartened) by the extent to which your son's school is allowing them to acknowledge Christmas.
|
|
I'm surprised they didn't send home a little reefer and a Rudolf has two mommies Chritmas story!
Is that a granite counter top? |
|
If Mac doesn't mind me answering(and I got this from the ARFCOM country thread) he lives in AZ IIRC. |

|
Its disgusting..
Next thing you know they'll be doing Christmas plays.. Where is the PC in it all???? |
|
I think they only do that for 87 kids out of the whole school ! |
|

"Magical Reindeer Dust" was created by Satan and distributed by his pagen lackeys to the public school system.
Burn it. (Very cool card btw... I got a "crafty" Christmas card from 1st grader as well. ) |

Considering all the reindeer are girls. * According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year, male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of winter, usually late November to mid-December. Female reindeer retain their antlers till after they give birth in the spring. Therefore, according to EVERY historical rendition depicting Santa's reindeer, EVERY single one of them, from Rudolph to Blitzen, had to be a girl. *So a chain email tells me. |

Imagine your son's reaction when he learns that there is no Santa and that he's been lied to for years by those he trusts most. That should be a fun day.
|

Yep. deej86 is right - Arizona. And it's a public school. We shopped around all the private schools in our side of town before he started school but they still didn't stack up to the public school he's going to now. For being a public school - it's a damn good school and a damn good teacher too. |
|
If my kid came home with anything like that there would be hell to pay. I'd send back a cross and a manger scene. Shok |
|
Sweet!
Got any more of that stuff? I've been asking Santa for a BELT FED for 3 years now and nothing. Maybe if I use some of that stuff the fat guy can find my house! |
|
It's also a rarity nowadays-with all the stuff you hear-even on ARFCOM. |

He knows the REAL story of Christmas - the birth of Jesus and the reason we give gifts to each other. He knows full well WHY we celebrate Christmas. But it's the STORY of Santa that he still gets all giddy and excited about. He "knows" the truth that St. Nicklaus lived a long time a go and he started the tradition of "Santa Claus". He also "knows" Rudolph is just a story too. But he still loves it! And he still gets all excited about "playing Santa" for his friends and cousins by buying them gifts and he gets real excited about what "Santa" will bring him on Christmas Day even though he knows not to go into Mommy & Daddy's closet or else it'll spoil his surprise. |
|
|
WHAT ????? |
|
|
are you serious? You actually have a problem with what they sent Mac's kid home with? |
|
|
Yeah, I nearly killed myself in dissappointment after having years of fun based on it. My god, how I ever made it through the heartbreak I just don't know. |
|
|
I'm glad to hear it. Sorry, I didn't mean to derail your thread, but the whole Santa thing gets under my skin. Parents shouldn't let their child believe something they themselves know to be false. Carry on. |

|
We're you one of the alter boys that was...uhhh...you know. |
|
|
He gets plenty of Christian teaching from home, Church and "Sunday School" (or religious education class). He's definitely not lacking for that. And besides - a cross has absolutely nothing to do with Christmas! |
|
|
Damn, you should change your name to kill joy. Better go ahead and tell them that the world is a horrible place in which you try to do the best you can, but eventually we all lose. |

|
If my kid came home(No I have no kids yet) and I found out a teacher or a sub told that to my kids(that was reported actually in the news) I'd be pissed beyond belief. |
|
|
What if the reindeer dust attracts those harvester ants with the huge heads and tiny asses?
|
|
Ya sure. Put that on your lawn and see what kinda "dust" the reindeer leave!!
|
|
See the smiley at the end. It's called joking. |
||
|
I did. I knew. |
|||
|
I know your kidding with this post. But the sad thing is I bet that teacher does get in trouble for this, as some whiner parent will bitch about it. Glad I grew up when I did, kids today miss out on so much. |
|
|
Thank GOD, that your kids school is still celebrating Christmas. Good for you guys!
|
|
damn, over seventeen thousand posts and the guy is still funny! runner up is the giant ants....lol. |
|
|
Yeah, me too. Every Christmas i go out and beat up anyone i see in a Santa outfit because of the treacherous lies that my parents told me about Santa Claus as a little boy. |
||
|
Well, Santa is just a misspelling of Satan! |
|
|
And my son's teacher still leads the class in the Pledge of Allegience every morning... with "under God" included. |
|
|
Glad to see the defense of constitutional rights in this forum only applies to the 2nd.
I couldn't be happier that my kid doesn't go to that school. Just wish my tax dollars didn't also. |
|
You have much to learn about what "establishment of religion" means. BTW... I couldn't be more surprised that you and your ilk are represented by Chuck Schumer and The Beast. |

My daughter who is also in kindergarten came home with 2 bags of the same stuff with the same note on each bag. So on Christmas eve, we will be outside spreading the stuff for the reindeer.
One other note of importance. My kids had their Christmas programs at school this past week. In both my daughters program and my sons(fifth grade) program, the kids sang the regular Christmas songs, plus they sang songs about the birth of Jesus and told a short story about the birth of Jesus. This all happened in a public school in PA. I was both amazed and extremely happy that this happened. I applaud the principle, teachers and superintendent for letting Christmas be Christmas the way it is supposed to be. No parents complained and a great time was had by all. |
|
That is seriously cute.
Kudos to at least one school that doesn't have its head up its ass. |
|
+1, fun shi'ite. |
|
|
Maybe the teacher is into Harry Potter. |
|
|
My son brought home some reindeer dust a few years ago, we went outside christmas eve and sprinkled it all over the front lawn. Then while he was asleep I went ouside and raked it into the lawn so he would think the reindeers had a field day. He's 9 now and one day he will discover the truth and that would be another chapter closed in my life. So i'm enjoying his younghood as much as possible.
