Last week my first grade son told a group of kids (best we can tell, Kindergarten through 4th grade) that Santa does not exist. These know it all, PTA, suburban Stepford Wives are PISSED (the kids moms).
Today via courier (not the mail), I received a rather threatening letter from a well-known, local, elite law firm threatening suit due to emotional damage, flagrant disregard to parental rights, and facilitating the loss of innocence of child wonderment. Yeah, seriously.
I should mention that one of the kids is related to a lawyer at this law firm, I believe a brother of one of the angry mom’s works there.
The letter has 8 kids names that were “traumatized” by my son’s “negligent actions” and demands that he stay away from them at all times, he is to never interact with them.
Here is the icing on the cake, in lieu of suit: the letter states that I need to pay for a fully interactive “Santa Experience” whereby a hired Santa will be hosted at one of the kids houses for a “Santa Experience” where he hands out presents (at my expense), sings songs with all 8 kids, and offers general Christmas cheer. The purpose of this is to "reverse the damage my son caused and re-spark the child like wonderment that surrounds the holidays."
They have given me until the 15th of September to “rectify this unfortunate situation.”
As a single mom, I really do not have the cash on hand to hire a lawyer. I am tempted to take this to the school principal for assistance…any advice here would be appreciated. I could honestly not give to flying ****s about these kids (I seriously doubt they are traumatized), but I need to protect myself and my little boy.

EDIT #2 - I have a meeting scheduled this morning with the School Principal. I called him and left a voicemail + sent an email yesterday evening giving him a brief rundown of the situation. He called me last night and scheduled a meeting with me, himself, and some office resource admin that helps coordinate the PTA on behalf of the school. The brief conversation that we had, he eluded that he knew that there was "PTA drama" and that some kids had learned about Santa. One of the mothers had contacted him a few days ago asking what the school was going to do about this situation. We had a laugh at this woman's expense.
I will update with a new thread after the meeting.
