Another Santa incident!

Reported from a FOX affiliate in South Bend, IN on an incident on Long Island, NY:

Santa Hat-Wearing Bus Driver Allowed to Keep Job

Ken Mott (Newsday)

A Santa hat-wearing school bus driver on Long Island, N.Y., has won the right to keep wearing his festive headgear, Newsday reported.

Kenneth Mott, who keeps a long, white beard, almost lost his job after a parent called the bus management to complain. Mott, who has worn the red and white hat every Christmas since he started with the Bauman & Sons bus company five years ago, was ordered to stop wearing the hat because a child didn't believe in Santa Claus and was bothered by the hat.

"I said, 'What, are you kidding me?'" Mott recalled. "I thought it was a big joke," Newsday reported.

However, after Mott told other parents he might be fired for wearing the hat, supervisors changed their stance and said he could continue to wear the hat.

A child was bothered by the hat? What is this? Some sort of brainwash attempt by Christians over the non-believers? A Santa hat does not cause mental harm or physical damage. Period.

How come the parent did not use any common sense? What if the driver was wearing a NY Yankees cap, and the kid loved the Mets? Is he going to complain too?

Soon, we are going to have drivers on the highway calling the cops about other drivers wearing Santa hats or have a Merry Christmas sticker on their bumper.

...and of course in the UK

A primary school has been accused of spoiling Christmas for pupils after a lesson telling them that Santa Claus does not exist.
