whomper Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 School Renames Easter Eggs 'Spring Spheres' By Stephanie Klein A sophomore at a local private high school thinks an effort to make Easter politically correct is ridiculous. Jessica, 16, told KIRO Radio's Dori Monson Show that a week before spring break, the students commit to a week-long community service project. She decided to volunteer in a third grade class at a public school, which she would like to remain nameless. "At the end of the week I had an idea to fill little plastic eggs with treats and jelly beans and other candy, but I was kind of unsure how the teacher would feel about that," Jessica said. She was concerned how the teacher might react to the eggs after of a meeting earlier in the week where she learned about "their abstract behavior rules." "I went to the teacher to get her approval and she wanted to ask the administration to see if it was okay," Jessica explained. "She said that I could do it as long as I called this treat 'spring spheres.' I couldn't call them Easter eggs." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, some dude was resurrected after being crucified and claimed to be the son of god. So now we celebrate this event by calling it Easter, during which time we hide little eggs that were supposedly dropped off by a rabbit.

Big John Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 A sphere has an even radius all around, which eggs are not. Eggs have a ellipsoid shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She got my 10-year old all worried by saying anyone who smokes or drinks is going to hell. Ended up very embarassing for her (I'm not usually scared to say much of anything to anyone) but my oldest really was bothered and worried about me for a couple days - to the point she couldn't eat much/tummy upset. My Lord the people on both sides of this debate are ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Beatings Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I am outraged that the public school would have so litte regard for the health of these kids. Candy kills! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Earth used to be a big ball of black jelly beans with dinosaurs roaming on it eating the black jelly beans. When God came along 6,000 years ago, He threw out the black jelly beans to create the modern-day Earth. This is why black jelly beans and dinosaur bones are signs of the debbil.

That is exactly how I explained it to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
