Schilda grüßt Seattle!

Nicht nur die EU kann's! Auch in den Vereinigten Staaten gibt es eine große Affinität zu Schilda ...



Das vorstehende Bild ist natürlich ein Fake (d.h. nicht das Bild, das ist schon echt — sondern die Beschriftung)! Noch heißen Obamas Eier nicht offiziell »spring spheres« — aber wenn es nach den Verantwortlichen einer Schule in Seattle*) geht, ist es bald so weit:

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."

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.

The Seattle elementary school isn't the only government organization using spring over Easter. The city's parks department has removed Easter from all of its advertised egg hunts. (Quelle: MYNorthwest.com)

Um aus dem Roman »Ballmanns Leiden oder Lehrbuch des Konkursrechts« des von mir überaus geschätzten Schriftstellers Herbert Rosendorfer zu zitieren: »Sie machen in jede Hose, die man ihnen hinhält«. Ein Poster bringt diesen Schildbürgerstreich von Seattle auf den Punkt:

... to be politically correct, Islamist beheadings will now be called "Muslim Haircuts".

Einige Leute in unseren Breiten hätten offenbar einen Haarschnitt dringend nötig, damit sie klarer sehen ...
