'Easter eggs' reportedly renamed 'spring spheres' at Seattle public school
American Thinker ^ | 4/11/11 | Thomas Lifson

The educrats strike again, and make themselves look ridiculous again, according to a 16 year old student identified only as Jessica, who volunteered to do a project at a local elementary school, supplying plastic eggs filled with jellybeans. From MyNorthwest.com: "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.

I don’t recall who said it, but I think it was a great idea: From now on, make Christmas day and Easter both be work days for governments and school districts.

Let’s see how long this silliness lasts.

They are not spherical, they are ovoid.

Why would they avoid using the word “egg”?

Thanksgiving turkey: The celebration Meleagris—oh wait, these idiots are not even scientific! They don’t even know the difference between the egg shape (ovoid) and a sphere!

I like my spheres over easy.

This does not surprise me a bit coming from Seattle. For those who have never been here, it is one strange and twisted city indeed. How twisted? It’s the only city in the free-world that has a statue of Vladimir Lenin, and is proud of it.

To maintain the alliteration?

Technically they are Spring Ellipsoids and a chance to eat mass quantities of candy for non-believers.

Forgot to mention the solstice parade which includes dozens of Naked bike riders, that Seattle Parents happily bring their children to see.

Just about what I would expect from Spittle Wa. The entire left coast from Canada to Mexico is a gigantic sick joke with the "educators" leading the charge

Perhaps they are trying to engage in a little ‘Unconstrained Spherical Parameterization’.

These bums think they're getting in a dig at Christianity with this nonsense, but the actual derivation of Easter comes from the Anglo-Saxon pagan goddess Eostre. So they are really taking a dig at paganism, which they probably like more than Christianity, they just aren't smart enough to know it. Christians celebrate the Resurrection of Christ, the Risen Lord. If anything, it is more closely associated with the Jewish Passover, since that was what Jesus was celebrating at the time of his crucifixion.

That's the first thing I thought. Sounds like some admins and teachers failed basic geometry. You can't even say it's a prolate spheroid (a stretched sphere) and thus somewhat a sphere, because it's not symmetrical.

which, by the way, would make a great name for a band...
