'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.

Government schools, what did you expect?

An egg is also a prolated spheroid.

It’s the only city in the free-world that has a statue of Vladimir Lenin, and is proud of it.

Until 1966 a statue of Lord Nelson, British naval hero, stood proudly in Dublin, Ireland. Then one morning there was a big "bang"....

Maybe we can get some of those guys' kids over to visit Lenin...

Yes. Those in the field of “education” really are this stupid.

We just remember than when one is too dense to even be a politician, there’s always a degree or two in “education” followed by years to increasing numbness - until the final brain cell dies and they become full democrats.

“They are not spherical, they are ovoid.”

Quite right. How about a good, old-fashioned vernal ovoid hunt?

sphere/sfi(ə)r/Noun - 1. A round solid figure, or its surface, with every point on its surface equidistant from its center.

There appear to be bigger problems in our public schools than originally believed.

Is there any independent verification of this story, or are we going by the word of an essentially anonymous caller to a radio show, who would not even name the school where this occurred?

This story has gotten a fair amount of attention - strange that no parent of any of the children has come forward.

They are not spherical, they are ovoid.

If they are loopy enough to rename Easter eggs, they are certainly not going to get the “ovoid” right.

Long time before that it was about the Babylonian god Tammuz (son of Nimrod and Semiramis) with Tammuz being risen from the dead at sunrise. Egyptians celebrated a sunrise service also with Horus (son of Osiris and Isis) being raised from the dead.

Semiramis, Isis, Ishtar, Mary and all it’s derivatives are one in the same. Same with Tammuz, Horus, Jesus and all its derivatives.

If you think I’m making it up just do your research into the syncretism of Jewish and pagan beliefs that resulted in Christianity. Same with Islam. Islam was created from the syncretism of pagan Arab beliefs and Jewish ones as well as Christian, Hindu, and Zoroastrian.

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

Hey! I was going to post that and you beat me to it!

Man, better let the Satellites know that they think they are going after the Christians, but they're really going after the Babylonians and Zoroastrians and Ishtarians. I bet that’ll make them stop. Can't offend those groups. They are almost as sacred as the Muzzies. Only Christians “deserve” to be dissed.

The names of the the trinity of gods may change but their stories stay pretty much the same.

This is exactly what I would expected from a dumbed down carbon re-educational unit.
