EVERETT, Mass. (December 9, 1998 09:57 a.m. EST
http://www.nandotimes.com) -- An elementary school teacher gave children a
copy of altered lyrics to "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" in which
Santa asks a gunman to shoot his wife.
The lyrics were included in a packet of Christmas songs given out by
an unidentified teacher at Devens Elementary School last week.
The song, renamed "Deadeye the Two-Gun Slinger," included the
lyric: "Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say, "Deadeye
with your gun so bright, won't you shoot my wife tonight?"
Theresa Schuesler complained to school officials after her husband
heard their 8-year-old son singing the song last week, and was
shocked to find out the boy got it in class.
"This song is wrong," she said. "This song is so bad it should never
have gone out."
School Superintendent Frederick Foresteire said the teacher would
be "written up" by the principal, but he did not think an apology or
explanation to the children was necessary.
"It's going to compound it more," he said
