Not fake, David Thorne is just an epic troll. He has a series of interactions where he is fucking hilarious.
He did a fake letter from McDonalds advising drivethrough staff to 'forget' to put in an item on each purchase.

If this was not faked, the parent is kinda going nuts over a simple tick

It's neither. I Google'd the guy trying to find this page earlier, & it turns out that he's pretty well known: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Thorne_(writer)Besides, given the Fundie tendencies of that Daryl guy, I imagine David knew the play wasn't as innocent as he made it out to be & just tore into the guy. Or maybe our first reactions were correct & he is a total douche with no real reason for what he does. Either way, it's still funny as Hell.

In all honesty he was being a bit dickish, but the fundie should have backed up and seen the wood for the trees a long time ago.
Still funny though.

He might have been behaving dickishly, but as religion has absolutely no place in public schools he had every right to be dickish--after all, why aren't they taking the kids to see a play about the Big Bang, or evolution? What about the Ramayana? From what I understand, Australia has its fair share of religious wackos just like here in the US. I would be equally pissed off if my hypothetical-and-entirely-fictional kid brought home that permission slip. Leave the Jesus out of the schools, mmkay?
Also, I laughed myself stupid. XD

Beautiful, simply perfect...see trolls, this is how you troll
And yes, I think he had every right to be dickish just from the pre check check mark. One of those "mistakes" that benefits the "chaplain". Seriously, who would print hundreds of those slips with a pre existing check aside from a scheming shitbag or a total fucking moron?
Of course they won't teach what is the actual true meaning of easter, just the christian takeover version

I'm of the opinion that comedians tend to be dicks. Dickishness is funny.
Exactly. There is absolutely no reason to believe that you could write up such a simple form & not catch such a glaring mistake upon looking it over.
I don't even know that.

Agreed with das: that's the way to troll! ;D
It always galled me how such things make inroads into public schools. Not just religion. Years ago, my niece, then in 5th grade, was in a school production of "The Wizard of Oz." (They asked her to play Dorothy but she didn't want to wear a dress, so she became a Munchkin.) Their version used the songs from the movie - with two exceptions. Instead of "If I Only Had a Heart," the Tin Man instead sang "You Gotta Have Heart" (from "Damn Yankees"). Galling as this was, it wasn't as bad as when the Munchkins asked Dorothy where she came from. "I'm from Kansas - in America, a land of freedom..." Then she launches into "My Country 'Tis of Thee"!
Apropos of nothing, I also recall seeing a Cadillac ad posted on the wall in one of the school's hallways (remember, this was an elementary school) with the words "The reward of a good education."

OK, while amusing, "David" there was being kind of a douche. True, the "Chaplain" was also a douche, but two douches do not make a fun night in Bangkok. Or maybe they do. The only time I was in Bangkok I was 23 and far more interested in the primo hash than I was in feminine hygeine products or those who act like them.
Anyway. Both those guys are douches. Amusing douches, though.

Daryl was more of a bitch. Particularly the "I'm praying for you" and "stop E-mailing me" parts.

How does this guy figure that an Easter play 'isn't very religious'?
