Apparently, in the spirit of “political correctness gone mad” or somesuch moronic ballyhoo, a teacher from a school in Seattle, Washington, USA has decided that egg-shaped containers often given as gifts at this time of year, and often known by the rather sober moniker “easter eggs”, are henceforth to be called “spring spheres” by her pupils.
That’s according to an article from fundietastic outlet CBN.com, anyway, who are obviously up in arms about “easter” being taken away from Jesus, who is of course the origin of the egg/confection combination, probably by having left them behind in his tomb as incontrovertible yet tasty proof of his having being there. Or something.
And—obviously—she’s not a maths teacher, otherwise she’d know that they’re spring ovoids not spheres. The silly ninny.
Note to self: buy chocolate.
Besides, easter eggs, and the word easter itself, have a pre-christian origin… I do hope no druid is going to come after my kids and force them to give back their chocolate before the godess Ostara gets really pissed
The really interesting part about this whole story is that Easter Eggs have no true root in Christian Religion. They are actually a Zoroastrians tradition that was originally adopted by Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Churches. The eggs have nothing to do with the Holiday of Easter and many Christians consider them to be a pagan or secular ritual to begin with. I personally don't have anything against Easter Eggs or even church organized egg hunts, as I think they can be a fun method for teaching children about the ressurection story. I'm just saying they are not part of biblical Christianity.

Thanks Tim for your commentary on last weekends nonsense. These events and people continue to push people away, making it that much harder.
Leave it to a liberal school teacher to fail to understand the difference between a sphere and a Cartesian Oviod.
