Going to ever new levels of absurdity – from My Northwest.com:
…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.”…
You know, guys, the only reason anyone takes off or does anything special is because of Easter. If it wasn’t for the fact that Our Lord rose from dead, there wouldn’t be anything to note this time of year. So, either celebrate that or don’t celebrate anything, at all. Just pack it in – no “Spring break” and no “Spring spheres”. Either use “Easter break” and “Easter eggs”, or don’t even bother. Stop trying to de-Christianize western civilization…it won’t work; if you did manage it, you’d just kill the civilization, completely.
And, no, I don’t care if someone gets offended. Anyone who gets offended at the use of the word “Easter” is either a complete ass, or a monumentally wicked person. Anyone who complains about it should be ignored or, if that proves impossible, laughed at. If you’re going to be stupidly absurd, then you should be willing to deal with the normal reaction to such action.
For crying out loud, enough already!
