AI Thread Summary
The headmaster of Boston Latin School, Lynne Moone Teta, has addressed a bizarre rumor circulating among students about vampires in the school. Despite the school's long history dating back to 1635, Teta firmly denied the existence of any vampires on campus. The discussion also touched on humorous comparisons to other mythical creatures and the idea of discrimination against fictional beings, with participants joking about the absurdity of such rumors and referencing cultural figures like Henrik Ibsen and Theodor Kittelsen. The lighthearted tone emphasized the unusual nature of the rumor while reflecting on the broader theme of acceptance for all, even fictional characters.

BOSTON -- The headmaster of one of the city's most prestigious exam schools is dealing with an unusual rumor sweeping student classrooms.

There are no vampires at Boston Latin School, says headmaster Lynne Moone Teta.

Seriously.

Students at the school, which was founded in 1635, began e-mailing news organizations Wednesday night with the strange story of vampires roaming the halls...

Neither do trolls often visit Norwegian schools, but once, one of them ventured down the capital's high street (Karl Johan), although Henrik Ibsen refused to believe in him.

Theodor Kittelsen documented the event for posterity:

Henrik Ibsen is the guy in the top hat, above the lower right corner.

I think Vlad the Impaler would object to that comment.

Yeah, but even worse: I hear they have a real penguin problem in Fresno.
 
I for one, will not stand for this blatant discrimination against vampires. Vampires deserve just as good an education as anyone. I've never met a Vampire I didn't like.
