This mom is going to be the most hated parent in that school:

Parents of kindergarten students pulled their kids out of class recently to protest the cancellation of an annual Christmas tradition: a school trip to see Santa.

For the past 10 years, students at Sartorette Elementary School in San Jose, Calif., have taken a field trip to a local coffee shop to deliver letters to Santa, sit on his lap, and drink hot chocolate.

The trip was canceled after one class mother, Talia (who has withheld her last name from the media), complained that the tradition was exclusive of other religions, which don’t believe in Santa or celebrate Christmas. Talia, who is Jewish, says the issue is bigger than one religion. “This is not a Jewish issue for me,” she told NBC Bay Area. “It’s an inclusion issue. We can’t spend five days on just one culture. That’s fostering intolerance. When Christmas is given the same time, or [more] time, than American holidays, like Veterans Day, then kids don’t feel as American.”

Why would she ruin all the Christmas fun because of her one child? Her kid would’ve enjoyed it regardless!!

Crazy people can be that desperate for attention to cause so much chaos. Santa isn’t even about religion!

This mom just sounds like a grumpy hater.

I would’ve been joining the other parents to take my kid to see Santa!
