Do vampires only exist in horror stories, or are they in fact (fx: portentous chords) Teachers of the Night. How would you feel if a vampire fan was working in your children’s school and was teaching your little darlings English and Drama? Would you shrug your shoulders and say “so what?” Or would you be Horrorfied! (more portentous chords.)
Well Boggart Blog is written by creatures of the uberworld so we would be quite pleased that our place in the multicultural society was being recognised at last. But at St. Christopher’s Church of England Secondary School in Accrington the Christian parents are up in arms (well some of them are anyway)
Busty blonde vampire loving teacher Samantha Goldstone has been suspended from her job pending an enquiry after a group of parents from the evangelical (aka pompous, self righteous prig) wing of the C of E protested about her “lurid personal website” on Myspace.com even though it was written under a nom de plume. The site has now been taken down so I cannot point you to it.
Glamourous Sam (36) commented (sorry about the tabloid style but this story really does call for it) is a published novelist and poet and used the site to promote her work.
Asked about her suspension from her teaching job due to allegations that she is unsuitable
to teach in a Christian School her solicitor commented: “let’s face it, if she looked like Miss Marple nobody would have batted an eyelid.
Despite the small minded small town bigotry shown by these parents, the pupils have rallied to support Samantha, saying she is an inspirational teacher and makes learning fun. Boggart Blog has seen a photo of Ms Goldstone and she looks fun and not in the least sinister.
Fun is a proscribed word to evangelical Christians of course. So once again we are faced with the consequences of losing a good person because of the determination of a self righteous few to impose their moral prejudices on the world. Only evangelical Christians could ever be silly enough to take vampire stories seriously.
But perhaps there is a negative influence that needs purging from the school syllabus because it promotes ignorance and superstition. I think people usually call it The Bible and it always causes trouble when it gets in the wrong hands.
Fangs for the story Sam

The last time I had a go at the Christians, one of them announced he was going to pray for me. Wow, like that would make me feel grateful...
