Seattle School Renames Easter Eggs ‘Spring Spheres’

April 13th, 2011 (8) Posted By Angelia Phillips.

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.”

Rather than question the decision, Jessica opted to “roll with it.” But the third graders had other ideas.

“When I took them out of the bag, the teacher said, ‘Oh look, spring spheres’ and all the kids were like ‘Wow, Easter eggs.’ So they knew,” Jessica said.

The Seattle elementary school isn’t the only government organization using spring over Easter. The city’s parks department has removed Easter from all of its advertised egg hunts.

    Here’s the real problem- a sphere is a three-dimensional geometric object, all points on the surface of which are equidistant from the center point. An egg, at least the egg of a chicken or the proximation of which is used in this activity does not have this shape. You’d think a school teacher would understand this important fact, especially sinc geometry is a subject studied by all college-bound high school students.

      Oblate-spheroid is the name of the shape of an egg.

      The biggest problem is the students, if left to there own, are far smarter than the teachers….especially teachers from that socialist shit-hole! :cool:
