'Easter eggs' reportedly renamed 'spring spheres' at Seattle public school
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."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.
If this story is true, as recounted by Jessica, it takes political correctness to a new height of absurdity.
