While most of us contemplating the holy week season, a parent reportedly dressed up as the Easter Bunny and handed out eggs with condoms inside to children at an elementary school in Austin, Texas.
The incident happened last Thursday at the Gullett Elementary School in the state’s capital city. The unnamed parent wearing Easter Bunny handed out plastic Easter eggs to the children. While some eggs contain candy, others had unopened condoms inside, the school reported.
According to reports, the Austin Independent School District told them staff asked the parent to leave the premises. The parent then proceeded to hand out condom-filled eggs from a public sidewalk.
That would lead one to believe that the incident was not accidental but rather was done purposely. A statement from the Austin ISD referred to the incident as “incredibly careless and inappropriate.”
However, School Principal Tammy Thompson of Gullett Elementary School insisted that the school played no role in the event, according to the letter sent to parents on the same day.
“This afternoon during dismissal, a Gullett parent visited campus dressed as the Easter Bunny and handed out plastic eggs. Some of those eggs contained candy, and some students were also given unopened condoms.”
“Please know that this was not a planned event, nor sanctioned by the school, and we have spoken with the parent about the inappropriate nature of their activity. We value parent participation and always request that you work with campus staff to best support our students.”
An AISD spokesperson told KXAN:
“We are working to review our safety protocols to ensure this does not happen again. It was an incredibly careless and inappropriate action of a parent.”
One parent tweeted about the incident:
“A parent showed up at my kids’ elementary school dressed as an Easter Bunny during pickup. He handed out eggs, mostly filled with candy. Some with unopened condoms. Not sure this is the Austin weird I signed up for.”
