UK School Bans Hot Cross Buns!

A school in England has banned hot cross buns.

Just when you thought PC silliness couldn't get any sillier, along comes Tina Jackson, head teacher at the Oaks Primary School in Ipswich, UK, with a ban on buns (see www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=48700). She's afraid some will be "offended" by the intersecting lines of white icing, the "cross" atop a hot cross bun.

If Ms. Jackson rigorously follows her own logic, her school will have to teach arithmetic without using "plus" signs. You can't write 2+2=4 without offending some secularist. There might also be a problem with window panes, telephone poles, and anything else that features two straight lines intersecting at right angles.

Is it possible that these so-easily offended secularists are really vampires? That would explain the intensity of their reactions. I'll have to watch closely, the next time I see one of them exposed to natural sunlight.

Meanwhile, the kiddies at Oakes Primary School will have to have their hot cross buns without crosses.
