SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, December 3: -- A Jewish father today took court action against the New South Wales Public School system to try to stop a visit by Santa Claus to the public school where his young daughter is enrolled. He also wanted all Christmas carols and a student Nativity play prohibited. Santa was supposed to visit the school and distribute lollipops to the children.

The father said: "I do not want my daughter forcibly exposed to the Gentile religion"

The public school system in NSW is non-secular but most students are of the Christian faith. The court dismissed the action and suggested the man seek "conciliation".-pvs
