Boys and girls at an Alabama elementary school will still get to hunt for eggs – but they can’t call them ‘Easter Eggs’ have the principal banished the word for the sake of religious diversity.
“We had in the past a parent to question us about some of the things we do here at school,” said Heritage Elementary School principal Lydia Davenport. “So we’re just trying to make sure we respect and honor everybody’s differences.”
Television station WHNT reported that teachers were informed that no activities related to or centered around any religious holiday would be allowed – in the interest of religious diversity.
“Kids love the bunny and we just make sure we don’t say ‘the Easter Bunny’ so that we don’t infringe on the rights of others because people relate the Easter bunny to religion,” she told the television station. “ A bunny is a bunny and a rabbit is a rabbit.”
And if a little tike mistakenly uses the word Easter what will be his punishment?
Orthodoxy SUCKS.
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson

Then call them deviled eggs and the principal can take them to hell with her.
This is a fantastic idea and I hope the power brokers in the RNC take note of this. Easter is just another scary, religious term that turns off and scares away young people and the Low Info crowd. The GOP needs to get ahead of this and call for a banning of all religious words and concepts in public schools. Easter is outdated just like traditional marriage and the Pro Life movement. Banning this stuff would meet wide approval from the pubic if some posters here are correct.
