Child Forced to Apologize for Calling Santa Fake

A schoolboy in South Africa was - possibly by his parents - forced to apologize for calling Santa Claus fake.

 On Facebook a teacher, Madelyn Herbert, shared a letter from one of her primary school students who wrote a letter in which he apologized for being 'naughty' over the past year. (She, as befits a good teacher, first took out his name.) This follows a letter he wrote a few days before it in which he called Santa fake. In her comments on Facebook, she calls the first letter an 'ugly letter', with which I strongly disagree.

Here is the second letter:

 There is nothing cute or sweet about the second letter. It does not show that a child realized his mistakes, it only proves that a child succumbed to pressure, possibly with the threat of corporal punishment in the background. Physical violence against children by their parents is still particularly common among Afrikaners. To me it is obvious that someone told the child what to write, the letter is simply too formal for a primary school child.

It is pretty standard in many South African schools for primary school pupils - ages 6 to 13, before they go off to high school for another 5 years - to write letters to an imaginary old fart called Santa, which are then given to the teacher. The promise of gifts is used to blackmail children into being obedient, a well-known indoctrination technique. It's the carrot part, threats of fire in an imaginary hell is the stick part.

 While schools are supposed to teach children facts and equip them with the ability to think critically, the widespread Religion virus neutralizes much of that. Subliminal and sometimes blatant brainwashing is often imposed on children - which sometimes includes corporal punishment as a form of 'discipline' - and they are then forced to believe what is said to them, without daring to question it. 

   One only has to look at how blindly Muslim children in Pakistani schools believe people insulting a pedophile called prophet Muhammad - he also had a very tiny wiener, like a little noodle - should be beheaded, to realize the dangers of such a do-not-question upbringing.

The child in question used his brain and called 'Father Claus' fake, which is indeed true as we all know. The man doesn't exist, period. But apparently when his parents heard about it, he was forced to write a follow-up letter apologizing for being a 'naughty' child over the past year. He was quite literally forced to lie, against his own better judgement. After all, it is highly unlikely that a primary school child will voluntarily write a letter of apology in which he humiliates himself.

If it was indeed the parents who forced their child to humiliate himself like that, that forced him to be dishonest, it makes them incompetent as parents, and they should be forced to prove that Santa does exist. Otherwise, they have at least committed an act of emotional terrorism just like religious people are known for, and should be punished by having to listen to Boney M for 48 hours straight just to fry their last two brain cells too.

The child in question was forced by one or more authority figures to lie (just as when children are forced to believe and say God exists, and then later believe it themselves without a shred of evidence), to learn a dishonest trait, and against his common sense saying something he might later believe himself.

Children are gullible and therefore tend to believe what authority figures 'teaches' them. Until one day they are again told the very opposite by the same adults, that Santa does not exist. No wonder so many South African children grow up confuckulated, and as adults have so little respect for other adults, which so often leads to conflict and violence.

In typical religious emotional terrorism style, the subconscious message is also given to the child that he is inferior ('naughty') and therefore has to apologize, and that he does not have the right to question obvious lies and think for himself. Didn't the Bible itself say that one should not ask questions and just have to believe blindly like a child? Because fuck facts, right. Brain-damaged zombies interprets that very literally. And to avoid the tree of knowledge a.k.a. reading, is the Bible not clear about that? Then so many parents - not strong on reading and thinking themselves - wonder why their children avoid reading and do not want to learn. The contradictory nature of religious fables are very detrimental to the mental well-being of children.

It is unclear whether the pupil in question is white or black, and whether his home language is Afrikaans, English or one of that country's other 9 official languages. My suspicion is that it is a white, English-speaking child, judging by his fairly good grammar. Most Afrikaans children and Afrikaner adults are not very good with English. Now that I think about it, not with their own mother tongue either.

I must add that the teacher did not impose religion on her class, as far as I could establish. She seems to be very passionate about her work. However, her students and their parents appear to be infected with godsnot to an ICU-degree, as one can see from the testimonial from another child. It is worse than the Covid-19 pandemic, where everyone infects everyone with mental bullshit and everyone fabricates lies to justify previous lies. 

Imagine being religious and looking at another zombie, and wondering if you can beat him in dishing up a more far-fetched lie to justify two bears tearing forty-two 'naughty' children to bits just for laughing at a guy as bald as Prince William. And then to brown-nose the piece of shit god that commanded such a mass-murder killing spree on children, are you out of your mind?!

Many other - especially white Afrikaner - teachers still openly disregard a South African Constitutional court ruling (known as the Ogod ruling) that one religion may not be favored over another in schools.  In doing so, they teach children that laws of the land may be disregarded, and that dishonesty is okay to justify atrocities in that disgusting Bible collection of fables. But then they go all mental when a Muslim teacher for example drags his flavor of that mental Aids (religion) into the classroom that isn't the same as theirs. 

So is the nature of faith brainwashing, always creating conflict. A godsnotly zombie wants to infect and be dishonest and no law is going to stop him from discriminating against others.

 That's why atheists - the only mentally sane people in society - have such a hard time in shithole countries. When dangerous fables are favored above logic, sound reasoning, and verified evidence, conflict always follows. Look at South Africa's crime rate versus that of atheistic countries like those in Scandinavia as proof.

The teacher described the first letter in which the child tells the truth - I mean, we all know Santa is fake - as 'ugly' on a social public platform. That tells me that she may have given her class the message in the same vein that the child's letter is 'ugly', that his minority opinion is 'wrong' and unacceptable. Even subconsciously, forms of discrimination can be executed against someone not sharing your beliefs.

With that, she would have marginalized the child, with the majority of other children in the class who do believe that Santa exist subconsciously or even openly treating that child is an outcast. And yet the child in question is the innocent victim in this story! The famous Elon Musk (Tesla cars, SpaceX, PayPal, and more) was one such a victim of the Afrikaner flock mentality when he grew up in South Africa, and till today has little good to say about predominantly white Afrikaner schools. Fortunately he had the guts to resist, and kept on thinking out of the box and questioning everything, and look at him today. Whatever chip his one company plans to implant in human brains, even if it's just a flake of flattened corn, can only be a major improvement for boerbarians.

And what is this 'naughty list' the kid talks about in his first letter, are kids being threatened with ending up on a list and being labeled as troublemakers if they do not behave? Isn't that the same thing the communist regime in China is doing? That's awful; child psychology tells us that children generally tries to live up to how they are being portrayed by their parents and teachers.

Because I know Afrikaner men, I already know that Madelyn will be forgiven, simply because she is particularly beautiful. That's how horny Afrikaner men' heads work. Sexism, chauvinism, and all other -isms are overwhelming in South Africa, a fertile breeding ground for all forms of discrimination that still occur everywhere. I do want to add that I don't believe Madelyn will discriminate - at least not consciously - against the little Santa-denialist in her class.

To the child that wrote the two letters I would like to say, and I hope he reads it when one day he climbs into the tree of knowledge - the internet - again: Kiddo, kudos! Keep thinking for yourself, keep asking critical questions and insisting on real evidence, and never blindly believe everything that adults dish up as truth. Don't go along with the flock of sheep, think for yourself, become the leader of your own life.

    I would like you and thinking kids like you to know that more and more adults are starting to rise up against how you are being lied to about faith and that fable figures exist. I find it inexplicable and disgusting that brain-damaged religious adults insist on lying to children. You should be fascinated by the wonders of science, not by a fictional bearded man who allegedly climbs down your fireplaces' chimneys and that can deliver more parcels in one night than Amazon could in 20 years. And no, you do not need to respect any adult that lies to you.
