I have always assumed Santa Clause does exist; his name is really Tom
Delay, and for years he has given presents to good little corporations
and donors.

Well, I don't know if this counts as religion law...
A local teacher told her class of second graders the other day that
there is no Santa Claus. She retracted the "assertion" the next day,
after numerous parental complaints. I presume she has constitutional
cover to teach the truth, though prudence may dictate simply avoiding
the issue? Do parents have a right to have schools complicit in hiding
the bald facts from their children? What about the Tooth Fairy? Easter
Bunny? Will it be sufficient to roll out "Yes, Virginia..." as an
explanation?
