In Germany, drawing rabbits on the blackboard can land you in court. A schoolteacher has made nationwide headlines by filing a lawsuit against a 16-year-old pupil who allegedly did just that. The girl is also accused of claiming that the teacher had a rabbit phobia. The case continues.
As school pranks go, drawing rabbits on the blackboard may seem rather tame. But it has triggered a court case in the northern German town of Vechta where an outraged school teacher filed a legal complaint against the alleged offender, a 16-year-old schoolgirl, and accused her of spreading the vicious rumour that she suffered from rabbit phobia.
Vicious rumour? Wow - woman you need to toughen up, I suggest a few months teaching at my old school. It's not little fluffy bunnies you'd need to worry about.
BTW - A fear of little fluffy bunnies is called Leporiphobia.
