Seattle School Renames Easter Eggs 'Spring Spheres'

In the "What the..." category comes this new story:  A Seattle Elementary school has renamed Easter eggs "Spring Spheres" so as to not offend an, as yet, unnamed group of students.

Now, personally, I don't know why a bunny delivers Easter eggs, and I certainly don't believe in such a thing, but I certainly don't find it offensive to me.  And here's another idea: if you don't want to call eggs "Easter eggs," why don't you just call them "eggs?"

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."

Now called "Spring Spheres" by a school in Seattle
