A Jewish man who refused to let his children associate with Santa Claus
at school has lost his discrimination case against the New South Wales
Education Department.
A Sydney tribunal has found that Santa Claus is not a symbol of
Christianity.
Identified only as Mr A, the Jewish man objected to Santa's presence at
the Sydney primary school.
In his racial discrimination complaint against the department, Mr A said
Santa is a Christian figure and he did not want his children singing
Christmas carols or receiving lollies from Santa.
However, the Dean of Saint Mary's Cathedral, the Reverend Anthony Doherty,
told the Administrative Decisions Tribunal Santa Claus is a delightful
story but has nothing to do with Christianity.
In dismissing the complaint that the school discriminated against the
children because of its Christmas activities, the tribunal ruled that
it cannot be said that a detriment has been suffered simply because
diverse groups should find ways of coexisting with each other.
