Parents at the Eden High School in St. Catharines, Ontario are not very stoked about principal and Iron Maiden fan Sharon Burns’ display of “Satanic imagery,” and have launched a petition to transfer her out. The petition creators note that this is not at all about her being an Iron Maiden fan, but about her display of the number 666 and the Devil horns. Except both those things appear alongside a ton of Iron Maiden fan stuff and are very clearly related to the band and heavy metal in general. But let’s freak out about Satan like it’s the mid ’80s, shall we? The closing paragraph of the petition is a real gem too:
“Here is the petition details: As concerned parents with impressionable children at Eden High School in St. Catharines, Ontario, we are deeply disturbed that the principal assigned to the school blatantly showed Satanic symbols and her allegiance to Satanic practices on her public social media platforms where all the students can see them under @edenprincipal (not her personal account).
“Our school is based on inclusion, and openly displaying Satanic symbols (on a public social media platform) that directly goes against the principles of the vast majority of families who represent the school, is not inclusive. As parents we are demanding her transfer to another school. Please replace her with another principal who aligns with the values of the families at Eden and will not sabotage the teaching or upholding of those values and will not try to introduce impressionable students to Satanic practices or symbolism”.
The petition basically boils down to “people are freaked out because someone did a Satan thing and we can only openly love Christian God”.
You can listen to Iron Maiden below, which is probably a better use of your time.
