    Seattle school renames Easter eggs 'Spring Spheres'

    Jessica, a sophomore at a private Seattle school, says while volunteering at a public school, she was required to call 'Easter eggs' 'Spring Spheres.'


    A sophomore at a local private high school thinks an effort to make Easter politically correct is ridiculous.
    Jessica, 16, told KIRO Radio's 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."


    What a load of Balls! :rolleyes:

    did they change it because of the religious aspect?
    because there is not a child in the world that thinks about jesus when they are a handed a giant piece of chocolate.

    Am I reading that wrong? The girl in the article came up with the name and then complains about it?

    It doesn't actually say that the school forced her to rename them, just that she was concerned at how they might react.

    They're not even spheres, they're ellipsoids.

    Eh, excuse me, "spheres".

    Anyway, this is abstract squared. Seriously. The idea of chocolate eggs representing the demise and resurrection of the leader of Christianity isn't exactly sensible in the first place.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    What did Jesus say to his 12 apostles as he was being nailed to the cross?

    "Don't touch my ****ing Easter eggs, I'll be back on sunday."

    if we are going to be silly can we change good friday to bad friday or 'no drink because pedo animals who dress in curtains say you cant but they get pissed themselves that day, friday'

    I thought this was going to be about a new fad where men were decorating their balls like Easter eggs. I am disappointed.
