Ms. Gendreau said she knew, when she first criticized the mural, that most people would not understand — that the iris was a dangerous symbol because Iris was the Greek goddess of the rainbow; that children needed protection from demonic forces threatening to lead them astray.

I had a feeling that the rainbow colors behind the iris might have had something to do with it. Next time it rains, she'd best not look up. But it's good to know that folks like Ms. Gendreau are on the job protecting our children from dangerous flowers.
